Forever in Your Smile

In the photo by the window,

you’re both smiling wide

Papa’s jacket slightly crooked,

Grandma tugging it in time

Coffee on the table,

Sunday playing on the radio

All those little ordinary things you made into gold

Years don’t scare you,

you just hold a little tighter Laugh lines turning into maps of

every hard-earned mile

If love is a promise,

you kept it in the simple One more hand to hold,

one more grateful smile (ohh)

Happy anniversary,

Grandma and Papa

Still dancing in the kitchen

like nobody’s watching

You showed me forever

is made of small moments A hundred little mornings and a love

that keeps on talking (yeah)

Papa fixed the porch light when the storms rolled through the town

Grandma kept the world from shaking when the money wasn’t around

You turned ‘sorry’ into soft words,

turned ‘late’ into “come in”

Every chapter had its weather,

but you held the roof again Someday I’ll look for a love

that stands up in the hard parts That makes a home out

of laughter,

and repairs before it breaks So here’s to your two names written

in the same old handwriting

Still choosing each other—every day (ahhhh)

Happy anniversary,

Grandma and Papa

Still dancing in the kitchen

like nobody’s watching

You showed me forever

is made of small moments A hundred little mornings and a love

that keeps on talking

Happy anniversary,

Grandma and Papa

May the years keep finding

you right where you started

Right here in our hearts,

in the stories you gave us (ohh)
