(Verse 1)
I was just a small-town kid with a head full of someday,
Dreamin’ ’bout a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl I’d love the long way.
Didn’t know her name back then, but damn, I’d know it now—
Heather walked in back in ’06 and my world spun around.
(Pre-Chorus)
She’s that steady kinda woman, got a heart that don’t back down,
Runnin’ kids to every practice, runnin’ PTO in town.
Twenty years together and the spark still hangs on—
Feels like every morning I wake up where I belong.
(Chorus)
Heather, you’re my best friend, my always, my home—
Born a February baby, but you warm me to the bone.
You’re the girl I used to dream of before I knew your face—
And I swear the good Lord knew me when He put you in my place.
Oh, “and so, together, they built a life that they loved”—
And I thank Heaven up above for the life we’re buildin’ on.
(Verse 2)
She’s a substitute teacher with a patience I can’t match,
Got three kids she’d keep forever if life’d let ’em stay attached.
And on the nights we stay home, girl, that’s my favorite place—
Spaghetti, tacos, cereal, bagels, grapes and bananas on our plates.
Every time the kids walk out that door, she feels it in her chest—
A mama like her, man… I swear she’s heaven’s best.
(Pre-Chorus)
She gives more than she’s takin’, got a soul that’s pure as gold,
And somehow every year with her just outshines the one before.
She’s my midnight calm, she’s my sunrise strong,
And lovin’ her is somethin’ I been doin’ all along.
(Chorus)
Heather, you’re my best friend, my always, my home—
Born a February baby, but you warm me to the bone.
You’re the girl I used to dream up before I knew your face—
And I swear the good Lord knew me when He put you in my place.
Oh, “and so, together, they built a life that they loved”—
And I thank Heaven up above for the life we’re buildin’ on.
(Bridge)
Three kids in the rearview, but they’re still your whole world,
And I’ve never seen a stronger, deeper love than a mama for her girls.
First date back in ’06, said “I do” in ’09 and carried on—
Every mile with you, Heather, feels like a story and a song.
(Final Chorus)
Heather, you’re my best friend, my always, my home—
Still the girl I saw in daydreams back when I was growin’ alone.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a love I can’t replace—
Yeah, forever feels like forever when it’s you I get to chase.
Oh, “and so, together, they built a life that they loved”—
And with you, girl, I found my forever home.
