John

John, when I look at you, I see a quiet strength

A selfless heart that goes to any length

From driving the states on the long open road

To flying the oceans, sharing the load

Hawaii, Cancun, and the bright Vegas sand

I’ve seen the whole world just by holding your hand

You saved my life, John, time and again

My steady protector, my very best friend

I am so grateful to share in your days

Your loving compassion, your beautiful ways

From the youth that we had to the silver in our hair

Growing old with you is a priceless prayer

We built a whole life from the love that we gave

Raised up our children, so strong and so brave

We shared the sweet joy of a dog of our own

And now we watch grandkids reaping love we have sown

Through all of these seasons, the laughter and tears

You’re still so handsome across all the years

You saved my life, John, time and again

My steady protector, my very best friend

I am so grateful to share in your days

Your loving compassion, your beautiful ways

From the youth that we had to the silver in our hair

Growing old with you is a priceless prayer

Out on the cruise ship, breathing ocean air

Sitting on the balcony, knowing you're there

We've climbed up the mountains to take in the view

Every sunset is holy when I'm sitting with you

Watching the light break the dark of the night

With you by my side, everything is alright

Because you saved my life, John, time and again

My steady protector, my very best friend

I am so grateful to share in your days

Your loving compassion, your beautiful ways

From the youth that we had to the silver in our hair

Growing old with you is a priceless prayer

Yes, growing old with you is a priceless prayer
