All I Have to Give

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty-two years, a long and winding road We started young with nothing much to hold But hand in hand, we built it all from dust A home, a life, a fire, and honest trust Through all the seasons, come the rain or shine I knew somehow that your heart was mine [Chorus] Tacey, you're my steady flame The truest love I ever came to know Straightforward, loyal, warm as summer air My darling, everywhere I go, you're there [Verse 2] Five little ones who filled these rooms with sound We raised them strong, kept both our feet on ground Late nights and laughter, tears we wiped away We grew together, closer every day You never wavered, never turned aside You loved me through it, walking by my side [Chorus] Tacey, you're my steady flame The truest love I ever came to know Straightforward, loyal, warm as summer air My darling, everywhere I go, you're there [Bridge] When I remember all we've overcome I thank the stars for what our love became Devotion deep as any river runs And still I whisper your sweet name [Verse 3] Now here we stand with silver in our hair Our children grown, our story rich and rare And if I had another life to live I'd choose you, Tacey, all I have to give Come lay your head, let's watch the evening fold Forever young, though we are growing old [Chorus] Tacey, you're my steady flame The truest love I ever came to know Straightforward, loyal, warm as summer air My darling, everywhere I go, you're there [Outro] Forty-two years and still my heart is true Tacey, my love, I'd do it all with you
