Waylon

We started out just living right next door

Two neighbors wondering what the future had in store

We'd spend those evenings walking under streetlights

Just talking through those Fayetteville nights

You showed me your adventurous side

With every step, you became my guide

A hard-working man with a gentle soul

You took my broken pieces and made me whole

Waylon, through the shadows and the rain

We’ve held together through the heaviest pain

When life throws its worst, we don’t let go

We just come out stronger, and let the love grow

You're the kindest heart I've ever known

I'm so grateful to call you my own

When the sky fell down and the world went cold

You were the anchor for my heart to hold

When I lost my daughter, I was drowning in the deep

You held me close and you let me weep

You wiped my tears, you carried my grief

In the darkest moments, you were my relief

We’ve had our hard times, we’ve walked the fire

But your loving grace always lifts me higher

Waylon, through the shadows and the rain

We’ve held together through the heaviest pain

When life throws its worst, we don’t let go

We just come out stronger, and let the love grow

You're the kindest heart I've ever known

I'm so grateful to call you my own

I pray that whatever tomorrow might bring

We’ll face it together, we can weather anything

Through the trials, the tests, whatever is in view

I know I can make it as long as I have you

My husband, my rock, my adventurous friend

I'm walking beside you right up to the end

Oh, Waylon, through the shadows and the rain

We’ve held together through the heaviest pain

When life throws its worst, we don’t let go

We just come out stronger, and let the love grow

You're the kindest heart I've ever known

I'm so grateful to call you my own
