Johnny

We were fifteen when we first fell in love

Two kids who didn't know what life was made of

The road split wide and we went our separate ways

Forty years of living through a million different days

But here we are, Johnny, standing face to face

Trying to find a better version in this familiar place

I’m in this for the long haul, I'm ready for the ride

Through the good and the bad, I’ll be right by your side

When a week keeps us apart and I finally see your face

Your smile shines out and your sparkling eyes light up the space

You’ve got a heart of gold, and I’m holding on tight

To this second chance with you, stepping into the light

You've always been so smart, with a gentle, caring touch

The affection that you give me, it always means so much

We’re figuring out this "maybe," taking it slow and steady

Hoping for a stronger love whenever we are ready

Every time we reunite, the distance turns to dust

Building up a future on a quiet kind of trust

I’m in this for the long haul, I'm ready for the ride

Through the good and the bad, I’ll be right by your side

When a week keeps us apart and I finally see your face

Your smile shines out and your sparkling eyes light up the space

You’ve got a heart of gold, and I’m holding on tight

To this second chance with you, stepping into the light

Forty years is a lifetime, but it led me back to here

I want to be the one who makes your worries disappear

Whenever you need a hand, whenever shadows fall

You can always count on me to answer every call

'Cause I’m in this for the long haul, I'm ready for the ride

Through the good and the bad, I’ll be right by your side

When a week keeps us apart and I finally see your face

Your smile shines out and your sparkling eyes light up the space

Oh Johnny, you’ve got a heart of gold, and I’m holding on tight

To this better version of us, for the rest of my life
