Eight Minutes From Forever

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I packed a bag and caught a flight, Alone and heading south, Atlanta lights on a summer night, Just a stranger in the crowd. Then you smiled at me by accident, And my whole world turned around. [Chorus] You are my rock, my steady hand, The calm when skies turn gray, My favorite guy, my only man, The answer when I pray. Happy birthday, Danny, baby, You're my love in every single way. [Verse 2] We talked for hours, then we laughed, You lived just down my road, Connecticut, eight minutes back, From the place I called my home. We flew back home and never parted, Two hearts joined from the start. [Chorus] You are my rock, my steady hand, The calm when skies turn gray, My favorite guy, my only man, The answer when I pray. Happy birthday, Danny, baby, You're my love in every single way. [Bridge] I watched your heart grow soft and new, I watched you walk with Christ, Of all the things I'm proud of you, That's what brings these tears to my eyes. [Verse 3] Now fifty-eight, you're working hard From sunup until dark, You eat up every meal I make Like it's a work of art. And all I wish for, all I ask, Is forever with your heart. [Chorus] You are my rock, my steady hand, The calm when skies turn gray, My favorite guy, my only man, The answer when I pray. Happy birthday, Danny, baby, I'll love you more with every day. [Outro] Eight minutes from forever, That's where I found my guy, Happy birthday, love of my life, You'll always be my favorite guy.
