Linda

[Verse 1]
Some love doesn't start with roses,
Or a moonlit avenue,
Ours began with moving boxes,
Helping your daughter start new.
Then one cold Wisconsin morning,
Before I left, I asked you two,
Two questions that led me to you.

[Chorus]
Linda, your smile could stop the world,
You light up every room,
So sure of who you are, yet still loving,
Always asking what you can do.
I thank the Lord above
For the day He made you mine.

[Verse 2]
You flew into Sarasota,
I was waiting by the curb,
You called me your Uber driver,
And I hung on every word.
I drove you up to The Villages
To see your father there,
He sized me up a day or two,
Then gave his blessing fair,
And only then I kissed you, Linda,
Our first, in that warm Florida air.

[Chorus]
Linda, your smile could stop the world,
You light up every room,
So sure of who you are, yet still loving,
Always asking what you can do.
I thank the Lord above
For the day He made you mine.

[Bridge]
Fourth of July, the fireworks flew,
I got down on one knee,
Your smile lit up that summer sky,
And you said yes to me.

[Verse 3]
Four months on, beside his bed,
Your dad reached for our hands,
One of his last wishes was
To see a wedding band.
We did, and Linda, every year,
I feel him close at hand.

[Chorus]
Linda, your smile could stop the world,
You light up every room,
So sure of who you are, yet still loving,
Always asking what you can do.
I thank the Lord above,
And your father, that you're mine.

[Outro]
From a moving truck to forever,
With family, faith, and hope so true,
Happy anniversary, Linda,
Love always, your Kevin,
I'd do it all again with you.
