Thirty-Five Years, Still My Rock

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Porch light glowing, cake upon the shelf Candles counting years I could never count myself Thirty-five years of ups and downs Some sunny skies, some stormy towns And through it all when I start to fall You're the rock I lean on, standing tall [Chorus] So happy birthday, Steven, raise a glass tonight The joker at the table and my guiding light Behind that grin there's a heart so true Lord knows we're all leaning on you Happy birthday to a good, good man Forever proud to hold your hand [Verse 2] You keep us laughing with your silly lines A wink, a prank, a dozen corny rhymes But when the night gets long and the worry's deep You're the one who checks on us before you sleep Our daughter's call, our granddaughter's smile You'd drive through rain for every mile [Chorus] So happy birthday, Steven, raise a glass tonight The joker at the table and my guiding light Behind that grin there's a heart so true Lord knows we're all leaning on you Happy birthday to a good, good man Forever proud to hold your hand [Bridge] And when my mama needs a helping hand You're there before she asks, you understand You never wanted thanks or praise You just love us all in a hundred ways [Verse 3] So blow the candles, make a wish tonight I'll be right here holding you tight Thirty-five years and I'd do it again My husband, my rock, my very best friend Here's to the laughter and the years ahead And every word of love that's left unsaid [Chorus] So happy birthday, Steven, raise a glass tonight The joker at the table and my guiding light Behind that grin there's a heart so true Lord knows we're all leaning on you Happy birthday to a good, good man Forever proud to hold your hand [Outro] A good, good man Proud to hold your hand
