Christy

I still see the candles burning on your sweet sixteen

That was the very day you started dating me

You traded in your party dress to put on camouflage

Sitting in a deer blind, casting lines out in the dark

You never minded getting muddy, right there by my side

My beautiful companion, my best friend and my wife

Oh, Christy, you’re the truest love I've ever known

The one who held it all together, making us a home

I thank the Lord above that our paths ever crossed

But looking at you now, I see everything I've lost

I’m so sorry for the tears, I’m sorry for the pain

I’d give my very life to have another chance again

I cherish our anniversary dinners under casino lights

Sitting right across from you, talking through the night

You’ve always been the caring one, keeping our family strong

Such a loving, loyal mother, even when I did you wrong

I took your tender heart for granted, and I caused you grief

Now I'm standing in the ashes, praying for relief

Oh, Christy, you’re the truest love I've ever known

The one who held it all together, making us a home

I thank the Lord above that our paths ever crossed

But looking at you now, I see everything I've lost

I’m so sorry for the tears, I’m sorry for the pain

I’d give my very life to have another chance again

If I could turn the hands of time, I'd undo what I did

I'd hold you close and dry the eyes of the girl I loved as a kid

I'm begging for forgiveness, laying all my pride right down

I’d give my dying breath to turn this all around

Oh, Christy, you’re the truest love I've ever known

A gentle, caring mother who built this happy home

I'll always be so grateful that our paths ever crossed

And I can't bear the thought of everything I've lost

I’m so sorry for the tears, I’m sorry for the pain

I’d give my very life to have another chance again

Yeah, I'd give my very life for a second chance again
