Your Father’s Blessing

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love doesn't start with roses, Or a moonlit avenue, Ours began with moving boxes, Helping your daughter start new. Then one cold Wisconsin morning, Before I left, I asked you two, Two questions that led me to you. [Chorus] Linda, your smile could stop the world, You light up every room, So sure of who you are, yet still loving, Always asking what you can do. I thank the Lord above For the day He made you mine. [Verse 2] You flew into Sarasota, I was waiting by the curb, You called me your Uber driver, And I hung on every word. I drove you up to The Villages To see your father there, He sized me up a day or two, Then gave his blessing fair, And only then I kissed you, Linda, Our first, in that warm Florida air. [Chorus] Linda, your smile could stop the world, You light up every room, So sure of who you are, yet still loving, Always asking what you can do. I thank the Lord above For the day He made you mine. [Bridge] Fourth of July, the fireworks flew, I got down on one knee, Your smile lit up that summer sky, And you said yes to me. [Verse 3] Four months on, beside his bed, Your dad reached for our hands, One of his last wishes was To see a wedding band. We did, and Linda, every year, I feel him close at hand. [Chorus] Linda, your smile could stop the world, You light up every room, So sure of who you are, yet still loving, Always asking what you can do. I thank the Lord above, And your father, that you're mine. [Outro] From a moving truck to forever, With family, faith, and hope so true, Happy anniversary, Linda, Love always, your Kevin, I'd do it all again with you.
