Twenty-Five Years, Still Building

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love comes easy, like a summer rain Some love is built by hand through sun and strain We started out with nothing but a dream A tiny room, a promise, and the faith to believe Twenty-five years later, look at what we've grown Melissa, every brick here, we laid on our own [Chorus] You're the strength that holds this house together The steady hand when the cold winds blow You pushed me on to be my best And never once let go Through every storm and every season You're the reason I stand tall [Verse 2] Four little girls with your eyes and your grace You kissed the scrapes and dried the tears on every little face Late nights, long days, you never let them see you tired The mother that you are keeps this heart of mine inspired They learned their courage watching you And darlin', so did I [Chorus] You're the strength that holds this house together The steady hand when the cold winds blow You pushed me on to be my best And never once let go Through every storm and every season You're the reason I stand tall [Bridge] Lazy Sunday mornings, tangled in your arms The world can wait outside, we're safe from any harm That's where I found my home That's where I'm meant to be [Verse 3] Now the years have made us stronger, and the road is open wide I hear the Caribbean calling, with you right by my side White sand and turquoise water, nothing left to prove Melissa, there's no limit to the future for me and you [Chorus] You're the strength that holds this house together The steady hand when the cold winds blow You pushed me on to be my best And never once let go Through every storm and every season You're the reason I stand tall, Melissa, you're my all [Outro] Twenty-five years, and here's to forever My love, my strength, my all
