Joe

[Verse 1]
It started with one simple night,
A single date, and love took flight.
You never left, you stayed right here,
Through all the laughter, all the years.
Summer of '73 we wed,
A lifetime built on what you said.

[Chorus]
Oh Joe, you filled our world with light,
The funny man who held us tight.
Still in our hearts, you never leave,
Your love's a gift we still believe.
We laugh, we cry, we call your name,
And nothing here feels quite the same.

[Verse 2]
Three little ones we raised as one,
Watched them grow beneath the sun.
Eight more came, then four to come,
Faces you'd have loved someone.
The highs, the lows, we lived them all,
You caught us every time we'd fall.

[Chorus]
Oh Joe, you filled our world with light,
The funny man who held us tight.
Still in our hearts, you never leave,
Your love's a gift we still believe.
We laugh, we cry, we call your name,
And nothing here feels quite the same.

[Bridge]
The pranks, the jokes, they linger still,
Around the table, always will.
A storm may take you far away,
But love like yours has come to stay.

[Verse 3]
January took your hand,
But not the mark you left this land.
We tell your stories, share your grin,
And feel you close, our hearts within.
Joe, you're the warmth in every song,
The reason home still feels so strong.

[Chorus]
Oh Joe, you filled our world with light,
The funny man who held us tight.
Still in our hearts, you never leave,
Your love's a gift we still believe.

[Outro]
So rest now, love, we'll carry on,
Your laughter echoes, never gone.
