Tammy, when the nights get cold and heavy on our skin,
We’ve been walking wounded, caught between could’ve been and when.
Your whisper breaks the silence, your heartbeat calls me home,
Though the road is rough and jagged, you’re the only love I’ve known.
We’ve traded promises for scars, and anger for regret,
But every dawn reminds me of the vows we can’t forget.
I’ll love you forever, Tammy, through the thunder and the rain,
Through every shattered moment, I’ll stay and take the pain.
We’ll fight the ghosts together, we’ll mend each broken part—
Hold on to me, I’m holding you, you’re the keeper of my heart.
There’s a silence in the hallway where we used to laugh and dance,
We lost pieces in the tumble, but I still believe in chance.
You’re the fire in the winter, you’re the calm inside my storm,
I’ll learn to be the shelter, I’ll learn to keep you warm.
We’ll trade the bitter for the brave, let truth replace the lies,
Lay down these hardened defenses, look each other in the eyes.
I’ll love you forever, Tammy, through the thunder and the rain,
Through every shattered moment, I’ll stay and take the pain.
We’ll fight the ghosts together, we’ll mend each broken part—
Hold on to me, I’m holding you, you’re the keeper of my heart.
I know I’ve been a shadow, I know my words cut deep,
I’ve walked the edge of selfishness and lost the vows we keep.
Forgive the nights I faltered, forgive the times I’d hide—
I’ll trade my pride for honesty and walk back to your side.
No easy road, no perfect map, but I swear I’ll walk it still,
With open hands and honest words, with patience and with will.
If we stumble, if we fall, I’ll lift you from the dark—
We’ll stitch the edges of our souls and reignite the spark.
Remember late-night promises, the sunrise that we swore,
I want to find that version of us and open every door.
I’ll love you forever, Tammy, through the thunder and the rain,
Through every shattered moment, I’ll stay and take the pain.
We’ll fight the ghosts together, we’ll mend each broken part—
Hold on to me, I’m holding you, you’re the keeper of my heart.
I’ll love you forever, Tammy, through the thunder and the rain,
I’ll be the steady harbor when your world is split in pain.
We’ll face the nights together, we’ll heal and make a start—
Hold on to me, I’m holding you, you’re the keeper of my heart.
You and I, two imperfect souls, we’ll learn to bend, not break,
We’ll write new lines upon our lives for our children’s sake.
Hand in hand, we’ll brave the tide, we’ll turn the sorrow ’round—
What’s broken now will be rebuilt on firmer, truer ground.
Tammy, let the sunrise find us softer, stronger than before,
Let laughter fill the corners we forgot to check before.
I choose you in every lifetime, I choose you every day—
Forever isn’t just a word, it’s the road that we will lay.
Hold on to me, I’m holding you—forever, Tammy, forever.
