Rosie

The days grew heavy and the nights were long

When my body gave out and I wasn't strong

The sickness came and it took my pride

But you never moved from right by my side

Rosie, you were the light in the dark

A steady hand and a faithful heart

Forever and always, I promise you that

You're the truest love that I've ever had

Through the valleys of shadow, your grace pulled me through

I owe my whole world, sweet Rosie, to you

Forever and always, I'm yours through and through

I still remember that very first day

When I met your two boys and they looked my way

They had your warm smile and a spark in their eye

And I made a vow to the Lord up on high

Though we don't share blood, they are my own sons

My family started when we became one

Forever and always, I promise you that

You're the truest love that I've ever had

Through the valleys of shadow, your grace pulled me through

I owe my whole world, sweet Rosie, to you

Forever and always, I'm yours through and through

A doctor can mend, but a home is the cure

With you and our boys, my foundation is sure

You gave me a reason to fight through the pain

To stand up and walk in the sunshine again

Forever and always, I promise you that

You're the truest love that I've ever had

Through the valleys of shadow, your grace pulled me through

I owe my whole world, sweet Rosie, to you

Forever and always, my heart beats for you
