Four Hours and Nine Years

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nine years ago we started talking, Four long hours, the world went quiet, Mostly me, and you were listening, That's your way, and I'm so glad I tried it. Something in your gentle nature Made me feel I'd finally arrived. [Chorus] Oh Karen, you're the calm inside my storm, The soothing peace that keeps my heart so warm. You've brought me happiness I never knew, And every single day I'm loving you. I love you babe, in all you say and do. [Verse 2] Then a barbecue brought us back around, A little trade, and there you were again, Six months later, best I've ever found, Looking forward, not looking back to when. With Waiheke waiting on the water, And South Africa still in our grin. [Chorus] Oh Karen, you're the calm inside my storm, The soothing peace that keeps my heart so warm. You've brought me happiness I never knew, And every single day I'm loving you. I love you babe, in all you say and do. [Bridge] Vietnam is calling from afar, Jethro's joy and roads we've yet to roam. Wherever this adventure takes us, Karen, As long as you're beside me, I am home. [Verse 3] New Zealand hills we'll wander slow, A locum life with laughter in between, Your quiet strength is all I need to know, The gentlest heart that I have ever seen. So here's to us and all that lies ahead, The finest days I've never even dreamed. [Chorus] Oh Karen, you're the calm inside my storm, The soothing peace that keeps my heart so warm. You've brought me happiness I never knew, And every single day I'm loving you. I love you babe, in all you say and do. [Outro] Just because, I had to let you know, You're my calm, my joy, my heart, my home.
