I still remember the water and the rustling trees
Down at Pickerel Creek when you got on one knee
You asked me for forever, and I gave you my hand
Now I’m looking at the beautiful life we planned
Every day since then has been a wonderful ride
With my favorite person right here by my side
ChorusBrian, you're the strong roots of our family tree
A loving dad and grandpa, as steady as can be
A thoughtful, caring husband on whom I can depend
But more than that, my darling, you're my best friend
I thank my lucky stars for the love that you send
More than just my husband, you're my best friend
Verse 2We’ve chased down adventures, just seeing where they lead
Packing up our bags with everything we need
Heading down to Florida to catch that southern sun
Smiling by the ocean when the day is done
Walking on the beaches, leaving footprints in the sand
I’m so proud to be the woman walking with this man
BridgeWhenever someone needs a hand, you're the first one there
You're helpful and you're selfless, you show how much you care
It's in the little things you do to make my world so bright
Just having you beside me makes everything alright
Final ChorusBrian, you're the strong roots of our family tree
A loving dad and grandpa, as steady as can be
A thoughtful, caring husband on whom I can depend
But more than that, my darling, you're my best friend
I thank my lucky stars for the time we get to spend
Thank you for it all, my husband and my best friend
