Always a Bride

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sixteen and the world was brand new, Two hearts and a summer of blue. By the time I turned eighteen years, We had made a vow through all the fears. A June bride walking down the aisle, Believing forever in a smile. [Chorus] And you'd say, "My wife, the love of my life," Through every mile, through joy and through strife. If I could choose it all again, I'd choose you, my love, over and over then. Forty-two years, still standing tall, You're the reason, the heart of it all. [Verse 2] Twenty-four years in that Air Force blue, Base to base, I followed you. We fit our learning in between, The bravest life I've ever seen. Of every four who came that day, We were the only ones who wouldn't fray. [Chorus] And you'd say, "My wife, the love of my life," Through every mile, through joy and through strife. If I could choose it all again, I'd choose you, my love, over and over then. Forty-two years, still standing tall, You're the reason, the heart of it all. [Bridge] Oh Patrick, you still make me feel Like a new bride, and this love is real. Wanted, desired, cherished, and free, Patrick, you gave a whole world to me. [Verse 3] Now our children carry the flame, The family stories, the pride, the name. Through every storm we weathered strong, Building a life where we both belong. And if the years should fade away, Our love remembers every single day. [Chorus] And you'd say, "My wife, the love of my life," Through every mile, through joy and through strife. Patrick, I'd choose it all again, I'd choose you, my love, over and over then. [Outro] Forty-two years, still standing tall, Patrick, my love, you're my all in all.
