Forty years of holding hands, building up this life
Through every turn and season, I am proud to be your wife
We raised three kids to stand up tall, watched our family grow
Eleven grandkids running 'round, the sweetest love we know
ChorusOh Kevin, you're the glue that keeps this family so tight
You hold my hand and watch over me through the night
Best husband, dad, and granddad, great-granddaddy too
I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have you
You're the best thing that ever happened to me
Verse 2Now sweet Adaligh is here, our great-granddaughter's smile
Makes the waiting and the worrying feel all worthwhile
I'm on this oxygen all day, the vent throughout the night
Hoping for a brand new lung, but you make the heavy light
ChorusOh Kevin, you're the glue that keeps this family so tight
You hold my hand and watch over me through the night
Best husband, dad, and granddad, great-granddaddy too
I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have you
You're the best thing that ever happened to me
BridgeI love the time we spend with them, a house so full of grace
But I still think about when we would find our secret place
Just stealing moments all alone, away from all the crowd
Your quiet, steady kind of love, it speaks to me so loud
Final ChorusOh Kevin, you're the glue that keeps this family so tight
You hold my hand and watch over me through the night
Best husband, dad, and granddad, great-granddaddy too
I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have you
You're the best thing that ever happened to me
For forty years and counting, you're the breath I need
