Verse 1
Met you back in ’93, summer heat and borrowed time
You were sixteen, I was twenty two, young hearts crossing lines
Small town nights, big old dreams, didn’t know what love would cost
But I knew right then, holding your hand, I never wanted lost
Verse 2
’97 came with vows and rings, promises said slow
Life moved fast, years rolled on, like a wide open road
Two boys grew beneath our roof, Seth and Elias strong
Watched them learn what love looks like, just by watching us hold on
Chorus
You’re my always, you’re my home
Through the highs and the lows
We bent but never broke, no matter how hard it got
You’re the calm in my storm, the truth I’ve always known
Yeah, Charlie, you’re my forever, my heart, my love, my song
Verse 3
You wore scrubs in busy offices, spine charts and clinic plans
Running days with iron focus, keeping order with your stand
I wore a badge, walked harder roads, drawing mine out in the street
Different jobs, same backbone, same strength when we would meet
Chorus
You’re my always, you’re my home
Through the highs and the lows
We bent but never broke, no matter how hard it got
You’re the calm in my storm, the truth I’ve always known
Yeah, Charlie, you’re my forever, my heart, my love, my song
Bridge
Years leave lines upon our faces, silver starts to show
But every laugh still sounds the same, like it did long ago
If I had one more lifetime, I’d still choose you again
Same girl, same love, right back where it began
Final Chorus
You’re my always, you’re my home
Still standing, still strong
Built a life on faith and love and never let it go
When the lights all fade and the long days are gone
It’ll still be me and you, Charlie, proving love was right all along
Outro
From ’93 to forever, baby, that’s our song
