Benjamin

Benjamin, you're the truest soul I know

Honest and faithful wherever we go

You’d never take a thing that wasn't yours to keep

Except this heart of mine, and you planted it deep

I think about the dirt trails, kicking up the dust

Four-wheeler riding, built on solid trust

Pitching up the tent when the sun goes down

Miles and miles away from the noise of town

We’ve had so many good times, and there’s more on the way

Even when the skies turn a heavy shade of grey

Through the pauses in between, when the world stands still

I loved you yesterday, and I always will

Holding onto each other while the porch swing sways

Listening to the thunderstorms, counting the days

I remember playing out in the pouring rain

Washing off the worries, washing off the strain

Taking long walks just to see where they lead

Your loving heart is the only map I need

Laying on our backs underneath the starry night

Knowing as your fiancé, everything is right

You're loyal to the core, steady as a stone

With you by my side, I am never alone

We’ve had so many good times, and there’s more on the way

Even when the skies turn a heavy shade of grey

Through the pauses in between, when the world stands still

I loved you yesterday, and I always will

Holding onto each other while the porch swing sways

Listening to the thunderstorms, counting the days

Sometimes the rhythm slows and we have to catch our breath

A little gap in time, but there's nothing left to guess

A pause is just a moment 'til the good times start again

I'm holding onto you, my lover and my friend

We’ve had so many good times, and there’s more on the way

Even when the skies turn a heavy shade of grey

Through the pauses in between, when the world stands still

I loved you yesterday, and I always will

Holding onto each other while the porch swing sways

Listening to the thunderstorms with you, Benjamin, always
