Heather, I still remember leaning in on those front steps
My heart was pounding right out of my chest
Then we packed our bags and headed down to the sea
Myrtle Beach was the place where you anchored me
It was the start of something beautiful and true
I knew right then I only wanted you
ChorusTwelve and a half years of building this life
I’m so incredibly thankful to call you my wife
You’re strong-minded, brilliant, providing for our kids
I count every blessing for all that you did
You’re a hard-working woman, my beautiful light
Forever and always, baby, you’re my whole life
Verse 2We’ve put a lot of miles down those open roads
Listening to music as our story unfolds
Taking our time across that walking bridge
I wouldn't trade a second of the life that we've lived
Through the quiet moments and the highway signs
I'm just so glad that your hand is in mine
ChorusTwelve and a half years of building this life
I’m so incredibly thankful to call you my wife
You’re strong-minded, brilliant, providing for our kids
I count every blessing for all that you did
You’re a hard-working woman, my beautiful light
Forever and always, baby, you’re my whole life
BridgeYou carry this family with everything you are
Intelligent and amazing, my steady north star
The absolute best thing that happened to me
You're all I will want and you're all I will need
Final ChorusTwelve and a half years of building this life
Heather, I’m so thankful to call you my wife
You’re strong-minded, brilliant, providing for our kids
I count every blessing for the love that you give
You’re a hard-working woman, my beautiful light
Forever and always, baby, you’re my whole life
Yeah, you're all I will want and you're all I will need
Forever and always, baby... three kisses from me
