Lyrics
(Happy anniversary)
[Verse 1]
At twenty-three, we took the wheel
Young enough to dream, old enough to feel
Joy and heartbreak riding in the seat
Tears and laughter keeping time with our feet
Every wall we hit, we found a way through
Your shoulder held me, I held you
Every tear fell down into our well
Every laugh said, “we’re gonna rise, I can tell”
[Pre-Chorus]
And when the sky got heavy
We still stayed ready
Love kept on growing
Even when we didn’t know it
[Chorus]
Happy anniversary, my love
We’ve been through enough
Happy anniversary, my love
Still your hand fits like a glove
Our well runs deep
Our fire stays true
Happy anniversary, my love
I still choose you
(Happy anniversary)
[Verse 2]
We gave the dark some tears to keep
Prayers so loud they wouldn’t let us sleep
Then heaven sent our warrior girl
Bright little heartbeat, changing our world
Now I watch her growing into grace
Your smile showing up right on her face
Every blessing tested what we’d do
And every test brought me back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
The well don’t dry
It just goes wider
God keeps pouring
And we keep getting stronger
[Chorus]
Happy anniversary, my love
We’ve been through enough
Happy anniversary, my love
Still your hand fits like a glove
Our well runs deep
Our fire stays true
Happy anniversary, my love
I still choose you
(Happy anniversary)
[Bridge]
We learned from the ones who showed us how
Love can bend and still stand proud
So let the years keep coming fast
This kind of grace was built to last
And if the night gets rough
We’ll lean right in
We’ve already proved
What love can win
We’ll dance right through
Every storm we find
With your heart and mine
[Outro]
Happy anniversary, my love
Now hug me real tight
I still choose you
