Junior

We knew each other back when we were young

With so much of our story waiting to be sung

It took a few years to finally intertwine

But two thousand thirteen, you were officially mine

You took my hand and promised me your life

I've never been prouder to be your wife

Junior, it’s always us against the world

Through every storm that life has ever hurled

You watch the room with those observant eyes

A quiet kind of love, a beautiful surprise

You’re my protective shield, my steady ground

The safest place my heart has ever found

We left the New York concrete for the Wisconsin snow

Watching our beautiful, blended family grow

Seven kids together, a house so full of grace

But an accident took one, and left an empty space

It’s a heavy kind of grief, an ache that doesn't end

But we carry it together, my husband and my friend

Junior, it’s always us against the world

Through every storm that life has ever hurled

You watch the room with those observant eyes

A quiet kind of love, a beautiful surprise

You’re my protective shield, my steady ground

The safest place my heart has ever found

I know you're not the patient type, pacing at the door

But when you choose to be funny, I'm laughing on the floor

You don't need a thousand words to show me that you care

I just look beside me, and I know you're standing there

Junior, it’s always us against the world

Through every storm that life has ever hurled

You watch the room with those observant eyes

A quiet kind of love, a beautiful surprise

From New York to Wisconsin, through the joy and pain

It’s us against the world, and that will never change
