Richard

Twenty-eight years since we made that vow

Look at the life we’re standing in now

Through the heavy storms and the shifting sand

You never once let go of my hand

Richard, you're the quiet in the noise

The steady rhythm, my favorite voice

Oh, I will always love you, through the highs and the tears

Stronger today than those twenty-eight years

You’ve got a patient heart and a wise, old soul

Making me laugh when I'm losing control

Yeah, I will always love you, Richard, it's true

My favorite place is right next to you

When the world spins fast and the days get long

You know exactly how to change the song

With a sudden joke and a knowing smile

You make the hardest roads feel worthwhile

You take your time, you never rush the pace

I see the wisdom written on your face

Oh, I will always love you, through the highs and the tears

Stronger today than those twenty-eight years

You’ve got a patient heart and a wise, old soul

Making me laugh when I'm losing control

Yeah, I will always love you, Richard, it's true

My favorite place is right next to you

Almost three decades of turning the page

Like a classic rock record that won't ever age

You're the anchor when I'm drifting, the punchline when I'm low

You're the only direction I ever want to go

Oh, I will always love you, through the highs and the tears

Stronger today than those twenty-eight years

You’ve got a patient heart and a wise, old soul

Making me laugh when I'm losing control

Yeah, I will always love you, Richard, it's true

Forever and always, I'm staying with you
