David

Boyz II Men was singing on the stage that night

Didn't know I'd find my future in the flashing light

From an R&B rhythm to a love so true

Every song I heard was pointing straight to you

Then came the autumn of two thousand and nine

October seventeenth, I finally made you mine

Oh David, you're my shelter when the weather gets rough

You always bring the laughter when the going is tough

Protective and caring, a gift from above

Thank you for staying when I'm not easy to love

The calendar turned and our family grew

Twenty-ten brought a miracle, a dream come true

By twenty-fourteen, we were holding one more

Two little reasons that we're both living for

Watching you be a father, so steady and strong

Just proves I've been right about you all along

Oh David, you're my shelter when the weather gets rough

You always bring the laughter when the going is tough

Protective and caring, a gift from above

Thank you for staying when I'm not easy to love

When my health took a turn and my spirit was low

You were the bedrock, you never let go

Through the doctors and worries, you carried the weight

You held me close and told me we'd be okay

Oh David, you're my shelter when the weather gets rough

You always bring the laughter when the going is tough

Protective and patient, a gift from above

Thank you for staying when I'm not easy to love

From that very first concert to the stars up above

Thank you for loving me when I'm not easy to love
