I still rewind to our very first date
I didn't know what was written in fate
Saw those X-rated movies you kept on the shelf
I started laughing, couldn't help myself
But hearing your laugh is what captured my soul
So smart and so loving, you made my heart whole
You saw who I was and who I could be
You started a fire deep inside of me
ChorusEsha, my wife, you stood by me in my darkest hour
When my spirit was weak and the shadows would tower
You held my hand through the cold, lonely night
You never let go until I found the light
I thank you for allowing me the time to grow up
With you by my side, I have more than enough
Verse 2I think of that trip all the way to the border
Just chasing the sun, moving closer and closer
The miles rolling by with you in the seat
Making my crazy life feel so complete
You gave me the grace to figure things out
To quiet my fears and silence the doubt
Your patience is something I'll never forget
The most beautiful soul that I've ever met
ChorusEsha, my wife, you stood by me in my darkest hour
When my spirit was weak and the shadows would tower
You held my hand through the cold, lonely night
You never let go until I found the light
I thank you for allowing me the time to grow up
With you by my side, I have more than enough
BridgeI was a work in progress, stumbling in the dark
But your tender heart was my only spark
You didn't judge the man I used to be
You just held on tight and you rescued me
Final ChorusEsha, my wife, you stood by me in my darkest hour
When my spirit was weak and the shadows would tower
You held my hand through the cold, lonely night
You never let go until I found the light
I thank you for allowing me the time to grow up
With you by my side, I have more than enough
