Where We Began

Yeah…

Started on the water, baby…

Desde Calexico to the sea.

Met you on the Fort McHenry deck at night,

Ocean breeze blowing, stars shining bright.

Didn’t know then what the future would hold,

But one look at you and my heart got sold.

From Calexico, with that desert glow,

Strong brown eyes and a soul that showed.

Two worlds met in the middle of the sea,

And somehow your love found me.

Fort McHenry love, yeah that’s our story,

Started in the waves, now it’s all glory.

Desde Calexico hasta where we stand,

Built this life hand in hand.

Tú eres mi paz, mi fuerza también,

Mi corazón te elige una y otra vez.

(You are my peace, my strength too,

My heart chooses you over and over.)

Long nights talking under navy lights,

Dreaming ‘bout home and future life.

Laughing loud in the middle of the storm,

You made that cold steel ship feel warm.

Eras mi calma en tiempos duros,

Mi bendición entre tantos muros.

(You were my peace in hard times,

My blessing between so many walls.)

Now we got a family, kids and dreams,

Built something stronger than it seemed.

Still got that fire, still got that spark,

Same love burning deep in the dark.

From the ship to the shore,

Through every battle and every war.

Contigo aprendí lo que es amar,

And I’d choose you again no matter how far.

Fort McHenry love, forever mine,

From the ocean waves to the test of time.

Calexico girl, my heart still stays,

Loving you through all my days.
