Some people wait a lifetime to find a love that's certain from the very first day, and this song celebrates one that has lasted more than four decades. It tells the story of two partners who built a life side by side, from shared adventures and long goodbyes to a quiet porch beneath the pines. Filled with comfort, forgiveness, and steady devotion, it's a heartfelt reminder that the best love is the one that holds you through everything and keeps beginning again.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some folks wait a lifetime For a love that's sure and true Some folks never find it But I found mine in you The very day our roads crossed You told your mama you'd marry me [Chorus] You are my best friend My comfort when the cold winds blow You forgive me, you stay strong You're the only home I know After forty-three years, I'd do it all again You are my best friend [Verse 2] We joined the Army side by side And we never once looked back Saw the world with two sweet daughters Our life packed in a duffel sack Carla, you held us steady Through a hundred long goodbyes [Chorus] You are my best friend My comfort when the cold winds blow You forgive me, you stay strong You're the only home I know After forty-three years, I'd do it all again You are my best friend [Bridge] When I stumbled, you forgave me When I faltered, you were strong Through the good times and the hard times You stood by me all along [Verse 3] Now the Georgia pines are whispering On a porch we call our own Our girls are grown, the road's behind us Still you make this house a home Here's a brand new chapter, Carla And I'm writing it with you [Chorus] You are my best friend The finest wife, the finest mom Your love, your care, your steady hand Have carried me this far along After forty-three years, I'd do it all again You are my best friend [Outro] I could not have picked a better One to love until the end Oh, Carla, you are my best friend
