Arlene & Joe

[Verse 1]
There's a kind of family
that runs deeper than the blood,
the ones who show up in the rain
and stay to see the flood.
I was just a little kid
with questions in my eyes,
and you were always patient there,
patient, kind, and wise.

[Chorus]
Arlene and Joe, you fill my heart with love,
closer than cousins, a gift from up above.
Through every season, you never let me go,
thank you for the guiding light, Arlene and Joe.

[Verse 2]
Christmas Eves were golden,
the laughter and the light,
you tutored me through homework
on those long and worried nights.
Day camp down there at the Y,
we grew up side by side,
and Deerfield was my happy place
where all my worries died.

[Chorus]
Arlene and Joe, you fill my heart with love,
closer than cousins, a gift from up above.
Through every season, you never let me go,
thank you for the guiding light, Arlene and Joe.

[Bridge]
When my world was breaking,
when the vows had come undone,
you held me through the darkest storm
until I saw the sun.

[Verse 3]
Now I look back grateful
for the years that we have grown,
for the wisdom that you gave me,
for the love that I have known.
Some folks call it lucky,
but I call it grace,
the family that carries you
to a softer, safer place.

[Chorus]
Arlene and Joe, you fill my heart with love,
closer than cousins, a gift from up above.
Through every season, you never let me go,
thank you for the guiding light, Arlene and Joe.

[Outro]
Just because, I had to let you know,
you mean the world to me, Arlene and Joe.
