Russell, when I look at you, I see the grace of God
Through every single year we’ve shared along this blessed road
You've been my steady anchor through the changing of the tide
With a quiet kind of wisdom and a humor you can't hide
ChorusOh, I will love you forever, as long as I have breath
A gentle man, a patient soul, my comfort and my rest
A father to our family, a grandpa shining bright
Russell, you’re the melody that fills my heart with light
Verse 2You always have a funny word to chase the tears away
A patient, guiding spirit at the closing of the day
You built this family on a rock, with hands so strong and kind
A truer heart and husband, I know I could never find
ChorusOh, I will love you forever, as long as I have breath
A gentle man, a patient soul, my comfort and my rest
A father to our family, a grandpa shining bright
Russell, you’re the melody that fills my heart with light
BridgeThrough all the years we've traveled since our story first begun
Every season is a testament to all the good you've done
I count my daily blessings for the life that we have made
A love that stands the test of time, a love that will not fade
Final ChorusOh, I will love you forever, as long as I have breath
A gentle man, a patient soul, my comfort and my rest
A father to our family, a grandpa shining bright
Russell, you’re the melody that fills my heart with light
Lord knows I'll love you forever, my husband and my life
