Alexis

The sun would go down at the end of my shift

You’d show up at my work, just to give me a lift

You didn't mind the dirt, helping carry the trash

A patient, caring heart that didn't care about flash

Alexis, you were there when the hours ran long

Showing me exactly where I belong

Oh, Alexis, my beautiful wife

You brought a new meaning to this everyday life

From the vows that we made to the way that we care

I look over my shoulder and you're always right there

Through the highs and the lows, we stand side by side

With you as my partner, I’ve got nothing to hide

We walked through the doors of the ministries

Looking for a purpose, getting down on our knees

We found God together in the prayers that we heard

And you live out that faith in your every word

You're the most loving soul that I've ever known

You water the seeds of the love we have sown

Oh, Alexis, my beautiful wife

You brought a new meaning to this everyday life

From the vows that we made to the way that we care

I look over my shoulder and you're always right there

Through the highs and the lows, we stand side by side

With you as my partner, I’ve got nothing to hide

I still think about the flashing lights and the sound

With those gambling machines spinning round and round

That was the first time you said "I love you" to me

And right then I knew what my future would be

I didn't need to pull a lever or play a new line

I hit the jackpot the moment your heart chose mine

Oh, Alexis, my beautiful wife

You brought a new meaning to this everyday life

From the vows that we made to the way that we care

I look over my shoulder and you're always right there

Through the highs and the lows, we stand side by side

Forever, Alexis, my joy and my pride
