Carrie

We started out as childhood friends

Down where the Weir, Mississippi road bends

We were just a couple of kids running happy and wild

But I always loved your spirit and the way you smiled

On May the eleventh, two thousand and two

I stood at the altar and I said "I do"

To the girl with the cute laugh I've known all my life

I was so proud to finally call you my wife

Oh Carrie, with the prettiest blue eyes

You're the only one I need by my side

I love your personality, your beautiful soul

The way you love our family makes my life whole

Through all of the joy and the tears we've been through

I will forever love you

We built up a life and we watched it expand

Two wonderful children to walk through this land

September twenty-ninth, two thousand and four

Our daughter arrived and we couldn't love her more

Then February fourth, two thousand and eight

Our baby boy came and set our world straight

They're all grown up now and making their way

But I thank the Lord for them every single day

We’ve faced down the shadows and carried the cost

We've wept for the dearly loved ones we lost

When the house fire took everything that we owned

We stood in the ashes, but we weren't alone

'Cause a house is just timber, but home is your heart

And there ain't a fire that can tear us apart

Oh Carrie, with the prettiest blue eyes

You're the only one I need by my side

I love your personality, your beautiful soul

The way you love our family makes my life whole

Through all of the joy and the tears we've been through

I will forever love you

Yeah, Carrie, I will forever love you
