Chris

Fourteen years ago, October fourteen

I was clocking out, wiping the counter clean

You pulled into the drive-thru just to catch my eye

And slid me a white piece of paper on the sly

It just said "call me" written out in pen

I didn't know you'd be my forever back then

Chris, you've got a heart of gold

A love stronger than most, a hand I want to hold

Through the ups and downs, when the sky faded black

We had our breakups, but we always found our way back

I don't know what I'd do without you by my side

I'll carry you in my heartbeat for the rest of my life

My phone kept ringing, I ignored it for two weeks straight

Who was this "Bubba" trying to take me on a date?

When I finally figured out it was my drive-thru Chris

We went out for the evening, and it started all this

You were sick with a fever, but you still showed up for me

Since that day we've been best friends, just Chris and Beatrice

Chris, you've got a heart of gold

A love stronger than most, a hand I want to hold

Through the ups and downs, when the sky faded black

We had our breakups, but we always found our way back

I don't know what I'd do without you by my side

I'll carry you in my heartbeat for the rest of my life

We went back to your house that night, then I went on home

But I knew right then and there I'd never walk alone

I will always love you, and hold you near to my heart

Fourteen years of memories, and we're never gonna part

'Cause Chris, you've got a heart of gold

A love stronger than most, a hand I want to hold

Through the ups and downs, when the sky faded black

We had our breakups, but we always found our way back

I don't know what I'd do without you by my side

I'll carry you in my heartbeat for the rest of my life
