Verse 1
It was summer of ’21, music loud and lights down low,
A little backyard party, neither one of us had known,
That one hello would change it all,
Turn two strangers into home.
You smiled at me across the crowd,
Like somehow you already knew,
That every road I’d ever take,
Would somehow lead me back to you.
Pre-Chorus
We were young, we were dreamin’,
Didn’t have much to our names,
Just a couple hearts believin’
We could build a life someday.
Chorus
Now we’ve got two little girls with your eyes,
Running barefoot through this beautiful life.
And every night when I tuck them in,
They blow kisses to the stars where you’ve been.
You’re serving our country, making us proud,
While I’m holding down our little hometown.
Some days are hard, but I’d do it all again,
‘Cause every dream we prayed for is the life we’re livin’.
And while you’re gone, I hope you know,
We’re loving you back here at home.
Verse 2
There were nights we counted dollars,
Wondered how we’d make it through,
A lot of faith and second jobs,
And a love that only grew.
We learned together, fell together,
Picked each other off the ground,
And every storm that tried to break us
Only made us stronger now.
Pre-Chorus
Every sacrifice we made,
Every tear and every fight,
Built the family that we’re holding
In our arms tonight.
Chorus
Now we’ve got two little girls with your eyes,
Running barefoot through this beautiful life.
And every night when I tuck them in,
They blow kisses to the stars where you’ve been.
You’re serving our country, making us proud,
While I’m holding down our little hometown.
Some days are hard, but I’d do it all again,
‘Cause every dream we prayed for is the life we’re livin’.
And while you’re gone, I hope you know,
We’re loving you back here at home.
Bridge
Your oldest asks me every day,
“When’s Daddy coming back?”
I tell her soon and hold her close,
While tears try to sneak past.
Our baby points up at your picture,
Says your name with the sweetest smile,
And somehow in those little moments,
You don’t feel so far away awhile.
I see you in their laughter,
I see you in their hearts,
No distance in this world could ever
Pull this family apart.
Final Chorus
We’ve got two little girls with your eyes,
The greatest blessing in our lives.
And every prayer I ever prayed
Is standing in this house today.
You gave us courage, gave us hope,
Showed us how to love and grow.
From that party back in ‘21,
To this beautiful life we’ve become.
No matter how many miles you roam,
Your heart is here, your heart is home.
Outro
So come back safe when your duty’s done,
We’ll be waiting underneath the sun.
Three girls standing in the drive,
Ready to run into your arms that night.
And I’ll thank God for every road we drove,
From that first hello to the life we chose.
‘Cause if I could do it all again,
I’d still choose you…
Over and over again.
