(Verse 1)
We met where the floor stuck to your shoes,
Blues nightclub, smell of cheap perfume.
You were leaninâ on the bar, I thought you were short,
But turns out, babe, youâre near six-foot of heart.
Had a laugh, took a chance, kissed like fools,
I was wild and stubborn, you were breakinâ Navy rules.
And somehow, through that messy, magic nightâ
I saw forever in that half-pint light.
(Chorus)
You were leaninâ, but I was fallinâ,
From that moment, you had me callinâ.
Weâve built a home with dogs and chaos,
Raised four kidsâweâve earned our payoff.
You donât say much, but your loveâs loud and clear,
Youâre my calm, my laugh, my rock, my beer.
After all this time, baby, donât you fearâ
Iâm still yours, and Iâm still here.
(Verse 2)
You hung up your Navy blues for Lego bricks and school shoes,
Trading oceans for scraped knees and bedtime clues.
Kylaâs got your eyes, Josh your steady ways,
Evieâs got your sense of humour, and Coop? Lord, heâs all me, hey.
Youâve never been the poetry type,
But your hands say more than words ever might.
You fix what breaks, you hold us tight,
Even when I bring home one more pup at night.
(Chorus)
You were leaninâ, but I was fallinâ,
From that moment, you had me callinâ.
Weâve built a home with dogs and chaos,
Raised four kidsâweâve earned our payoff.
You donât say much, but your loveâs loud and clear,
Youâre my calm, my laugh, my rock, my beer.
After all this time, baby, donât you fearâ
Iâm still yours, and Iâm still here.
(Bridge)
Now weâve got silver in our hair and Sunday aches,
But babe, I still get butterflies that I canât fake.
Letâs take the map down, chase new skies,
Grow old, grow bold, still side by side.
(Final Chorus)
You were leaninâ, but I was fallinâ,
From that first night, to this sweet morning.
Weâve made a life both wild and true,
And Iâd choose it all again with you.
You donât need words, I feel it in your touch,
Youâve loved us fiercely, just enough.
And baby, my love storyâs crystal clearâ
Itâs you, itâs you⊠itâs always been you, dear.
(Outro)
So pour the wine, letâs write the next line,
Still leaninâ on each other after all this time.
