Sam

It was February, two thousand and two

In Weir, Mississippi, when I first met you

That very same night, before the evening was done

I knew in my heart I had finally found the one

May eleventh we promised to figure it out

With the whole world ahead of us, look at us now

Oh, Sam, you are my heart and my soul

The hardest working man that I’ll ever know

When life gets outlandish and the world starts to spin

You bring me back to a quiet peace again

You put your family first, whatever the weather

Thank God for the man who holds us together

September of '04, I saw a new side

Holding our daughter with love in your eyes

Then February '08, when our little boy came

You became the best dad, through the joy and the strain

You work yourself tired to provide for this life

Then you tell me a joke and it all feels right

I'm laughing so hard that I almost cry

Just thanking the Lord that you're here by my side

Oh, Sam, you are my heart and my soul

The hardest working man that I’ll ever know

When life gets outlandish and the world starts to spin

You bring me back to a quiet peace again

You put your family first, whatever the weather

Thank God for the man who holds us together

We’ve been through so much over all of these years

We’ve caused each other some pain and some tears

Said things we shouldn't, and we lost our way

But we always found the road back to okay

Sometimes I wake up and reach in the night

Just to see if you're there, right by my side

'Cause Sam, you are my heart and my soul

The hardest working man that I’ll ever know

When life gets outlandish and the world starts to spin

You bring me back to a quiet peace again

You put your family first, whatever the weather

Thank God for the man who holds us together

I just wanted you to know how I feel

I will love you forever, my heart and my soul
