Through Every Storm

Eighth grade graduation

in a long black car

Just two good friends under the summer stars

Sharing the same crowd,

laughing in the heat

At Beaverland parties

where the memories meet

Till February seventh, nineteen ninety-nine

In a brand new light,

your hand fit in mine

Then we lost our fathers,

weathered heavy rain Through the darkest trials,

holding back the pain I stood by you,

trying to be your light (we made it through)

And on August twenty-eighth,

we danced as best friends

A promise of a love that never ends

Our life wasn't perfect,

but we fought the storm

Keeping family safe, keeping family warm Yeah we made it through

Then Trinity arrived, our August sunshine bright

And Hayden in May,

making everything feel right

Now our Mansfield home is full of wagging tails

Camping and the cottage

on our favorite trails

And on August twenty-eighth,

we danced as best friends

A promise of a love that never ends

Our life wasn't perfect,

but we fought the storm

Keeping family safe, keeping family warm Yeah we made it through

Twenty-two years and I still love you Still dancing as best friends...

(mmm,

still love you)
