Melanie

It started with a voice across the wire

Nine weeks of talking, feeding the fire

Counting down the days until you could return

With every single call, I had so much to learn

Then you walked back in, and we closed the space

And I haven't spent a moment away from your face

Oh, Melanie, you're the strength that lifts me high

Like our basket in the clouds, touching the sky

You're beautiful and patient, selfless and wise

I see my whole world when I look in your eyes

I love you more than words could ever try

I never wanna lose you, never say goodbye

Two thousand and five, we took a leap of faith

A hot air balloon wedding, a beautiful place

Since we touched down, we’ve traveled the earth

An international family, proving our worth

Look at who we are now from where we began

You work hard for everyone, giving all that you can

Oh, Melanie, you're the strength that lifts me high

Like our basket in the clouds, touching the sky

You're beautiful and patient, selfless and wise

I see my whole world when I look in your eyes

I love you more than words could ever try

I never wanna lose you, never say goodbye

You make me laugh when the days get too long

You’re the uplifting rhythm inside of my song

Look at the children and grandkids we’ve grown

Through all of the borders and miles we have flown

You care for us all with a heart made of gold

I'll hold your hand tightly as we both grow old

Oh, Melanie, you're the strength that lifts me high

Like our basket in the clouds, touching the sky

You're beautiful and patient, selfless and wise

I see my whole world when I look in your eyes

I love you more than words could ever try

I never wanna lose you, never say goodbye

No, I never wanna lose you, never say goodbye
