Still My Answer, Still My One

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some men chase the wind and hurry, Some men wait on heaven's time, You met a girl of eighteen at BYU, Too young, I said, to choose so soon, So I prayed and fasted for my answer, And it came describing you. [Chorus] Happy birthday, Brent, my blessing, Eighty years of heavy lifting done, Serving family, friends, and neighbors, The way the Savior would have done, Fifty-seven years beside you, Still my answer, still my one. [Verse 2] A year and a half you waited, Then the Salt Lake Temple made us one, An old log house from the eighteen nineties, Thirteen years till it was done, New wires, new windows, basement under, So our six children could call it home. [Chorus] Happy birthday, Brent, my blessing, Eighty years of heavy lifting done, Serving family, friends, and neighbors, The way the Savior would have done, Fifty-seven years beside you, Still my answer, still my one. [Bridge] Forty-nine years a Scout leader, A mission and a master's degree, An old backhoe, a hundred forty books a year, And still you come home to me. [Verse 3] Now there's twenty-one grandchildren, And two tiny greats in line, You're out welding, mowing, pruning, Seven hours, rain or shine, God kept every word He promised, You're the man He said you'd be. [Chorus] Happy birthday, Brent, my blessing, Eighty years of love so freely given, Serving family, friends, and neighbors, With a gentle strength from heaven, Fifty-seven years beside you, Still my answer, still my one. [Outro] God couldn't give a finer blessing Than eighty years with you, Happy birthday, my beloved, I'm eternally grateful for you.
