Connie

When John brought me down to The Hop on that day

To meet the sweet woman who’d guide my new way

Then came the night we had dinner with Jo

And walked to the canal as the daylight got low

We stood by the fountain, the heavy skies gray

But just as I knelt, the storm faded away

God parted the clouds and He stopped all the rain

And bound us together through joy and through pain

Oh, Connie, you care for the people you see

You pour out a love that is selfless and free

Through all of the highs and the lows we have had

Through all of the good times and all of the bad

I wouldn’t trade one single step we have traced

Always and forever, I’m kept by your grace

That journey to Canada sparked a new fire

To travel the world became our desire

We rode through a Small World, our eyes open wide

With Bobby so happy right there by our side

From long softball weekends beneath the bright sun

To so many beautiful trips we’ve begun

Oh, Connie, you care for the people you see

You pour out a love that is selfless and free

Through all of the highs and the lows we have had

Through all of the good times and all of the bad

I wouldn’t trade one single step we have traced

Always and forever, I’m kept by your grace

We stepped on a ship for our first Disney cruise

And found a new passion we never would lose

Through every calm water and every dark storm

Your tender devotion has kept my soul warm

You make sure that everyone's cared for and loved

A beautiful blessing sent down from above

Now looking at all of the years we have spent

I cherish the trials and the comfort God sent

I’m glad it was you walking right by my side

My shelter, my partner, my beautiful bride

I wouldn't change any of what we've been through

For anyone else in this world, only you

Oh, Connie, you care for the people you see

You pour out a love that is selfless and free

Through all of the highs and the lows we have had

Through all of the good times and all of the bad

I wouldn’t trade one single step we have traced

Always and forever, I’m kept by your grace

Always and forever, my beautiful wife

I'm glad that I walked next to you through this life
