Cory

I was almost seventeen, and you were twenty-one

On my first trip to Pennsylvania, our story had begun

We made it through a long-distance year on the phone

Then came our first boy, and we built us a home

You were protective and caring right from the start

Cory, you’ve always held the keys to my heart

You are my heart and my soul, my stubborn soulmate

Through the ups and the downs, we never lost faith

Five kids and grandbabies, a love built to stay

Whatever comes at us, we'll make it through day by day

Forever and always, right here by your side

With every beat of my heart, I'm along for the ride

March of two thousand and one, we finally said our vows

Twenty-five years of a marriage, looking back at us now

Sure, we get on each other's nerves from time to time

But we turn on some country music and we do just fine

Curled up for a movie, nowhere else I’d rather be

Your determined spirit is a comfort to me

You are my heart and my soul, my stubborn soulmate

Through the ups and the downs, we never lost faith

Five kids and grandbabies, a love built to stay

Whatever comes at us, we'll make it through day by day

Forever and always, right here by your side

With every beat of my heart, I'm along for the ride

I treasure the moments you laugh until you cry

At a joke or a video catching your eye

When you look at me softly and say "I love you"

And the way that you love all our grandbabies too

No matter what happens, the high or the low

I'll always be here, I just want you to know

That you are my heart and my soul, my stubborn soulmate

Through the ups and the downs, we never lost faith

Five kids and grandbabies, a love built to stay

Whatever comes at us, we'll make it through day by day

Forever and always, Cory, right here by your side

With every beat of my heart, I'm along for the ride
