Forty-Three Years Answering You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love comes quiet like the morning light Rolling through the timber, soft and slow and bright Mine came walking up to me one summer day With a smile that took my every word away You said your hair, your eyes, who are you And forty-three years I've been answering you [Chorus] Did I tell you how much I love you today You ask it every morning in your gentle way From our log lodge high above Chain Lake You're my comfort and my strength, the love that doesn't break [Verse 2] Down by the grape vines out in Amity You stood in the Oregon sun and waited there for me Then Depoe Bay, the ocean wide and blue Our honeymoon where the waves came rolling through Marcus, you were made for open skies But you always flew back home to these eyes [Chorus] Did I tell you how much I love you today You ask it every morning in your gentle way From our log lodge high above Chain Lake You're my comfort and my strength, the love that doesn't break [Bridge] You've flown above the clouds and watched the whole world turn But every flight brought you back where the home fires burn I thank the Lord each night when I pray That your wings brought you home to stay [Verse 3] Now the evening settles soft along the shore Your hand in mine, the way it's been forevermore Through every storm, you held me steady and true So tonight, Marcus, it's my turn to ask you [Chorus] Did I tell you how much I love you today I'll ask it every morning in my own gentle way From our log lodge high above Chain Lake You're my comfort and my strength, the love that doesn't break [Outro] Your hair, your eyes, who are you, you said Just yours, Marcus, every day ahead
