[Verse 1]
Sun on our backs
Old work gloves
You laugh at my hat
I just fall in love
Little sticks in the grass
Like years on the ground
We bend, we break
We still hold out
[Chorus]
Picking up sticks in the yard with you, Trena
After all this time, you’re still my favorite view
Who would’ve thought simple days get sweeter
Thirty-five years, and I still choose you
You’re the keeper of my heart
Yeah, the keeper of my heart (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Kids all grown
Drive their own roads
We stay home
In our same old clothes
You hum that hymn
I know every line
I thank my God
You’re still by my side
[Chorus]
Picking up sticks in the yard with you, Trena
After all this time, you’re still my favorite view
Who would’ve thought simple days get sweeter
Thirty-five years, and I still choose you
You’re the keeper of my heart
Yeah, the keeper of my heart
[Bridge]
Lord, You’ve been faithful
In the small things, in it all
From the first “I do”
To this backyard where we fall
Into grace, into laughter
Into one more day together (hey!)
If this is all I ever have
It’s forever
[Chorus]
Picking up sticks in the yard with you, Trena
After all this time, you’re still my favorite view
Who would’ve thought simple days get sweeter
Thirty-five years, and I still choose you
You’re the keeper of my heart
You’re the keeper of my heart
Trena, keeper of my heart
