Bill

Fifteen years ago, you made a choice

You didn't just choose me, you embraced the noise

A woman and four kids, a ready-made home

You stepped right in and made us your own

You didn't shy away from a heavy load

You just walked beside me down the road

Oh, Bill, you're my anchor when the water gets rough

When life gets heavy, you never give up

You wake up every morning to provide for us all

With a steady hand and a heart that held it all

Through the tears and the laughter, whatever we weather

I will love you forever and ever

Our table got crowded, we took in two more

Six kids leaving shoes by the front screen door

And when the shadows fell and I got sick

The word was cancer, and it hit like a brick

But you held my hand through the darkest night

You were my courage, you helped me fight

Oh, Bill, you're my anchor when the water gets rough

When life gets heavy, you never give up

You wake up every morning to provide for us all

With a steady hand and a heart that held it all

Through the tears and the laughter, whatever we weather

I will love you forever and ever

You put your boots on every single day

Working so hard just to pave our way

You gave everything for this beautiful mess

I look at you, darling, and I know I'm blessed

Oh, Bill, you're my anchor when the water gets rough

When life gets heavy, you never give up

You wake up every morning to provide for us all

Thank God for a man with a heart that held it all

Through these fifteen years, and whatever we weather

I will love you forever and ever

Yes, I'll love you forever and ever
