John

I still remember that very first game

Chalk on the cue when I asked for your name

Shooting pool in that neon glow

I didn't know just how far we would go

You lined up the shot, but you captured my heart

Right there in the dim light, right at the start

John, you're a little bit stubborn, but steady and true

A hard-working man in everything that you do

You're the arms that we run to, a father so kind

The most patient soul that I'll ever find

I want you to know, when the long day is through

You are seen, you are loved, and I'm still falling for you

We traded the pool hall for dirt and the pines

Sitting by the water and casting our lines

Building a fire at our old camping spot

Thanking the stars for the life that we've got

You're working so hard for the family you raise

I see your devotion in so many ways

John, you're a little bit stubborn, but steady and true

A hard-working man in everything that you do

You're the arms that we run to, a father so kind

The most patient soul that I'll ever find

I want you to know, when the long day is through

You are seen, you are loved, and I'm still falling for you

Sometimes the years make the memories fade

But I don't forget all the magic we've made

I see the tired in your eyes from the grind

But I see the love that you leave right behind

Just remember the spark that we had at the start

It's still burning bright right here in my heart

Oh John, you're a little bit stubborn, but steady and true

A hard-working man in everything that you do

You're the arms that we run to, a father so kind

The most patient soul that I'll ever find

I want you to know, when the long day is through

You are seen, you are loved, and I'm still falling for you

Yeah, you are cared for and loved, and I'm still falling for you
