Nate

[Verse 1]
Some roads run straight, some roads bend
Some stories pause, then start again
I knew a boy back in grade school days
One summer at nineteen, then we went our ways
The years rolled on like a long dirt track
Till thirty-eight brought you walkin' back

[Chorus]
You make me laugh when the skies turn gray
You chase the hardest days away
When the world gets heavy, you make me smile
You make this long road worth every mile
You're my comfort, you're my steady ground
The best thing I have ever found

[Verse 2]
I'll be honest, I was scared to fall
I'd built my heart behind a wall
But Nate, you didn't walk away
You just kept showin' up every day
Patient as the sunrise, strong and true
Till I found the courage to love you

[Chorus]
You make me laugh when the skies turn gray
You chase the hardest days away
When the world gets heavy, you make me smile
You make this long road worth every mile
You're my comfort, you're my steady ground
The best thing I have ever found

[Bridge]
Nate, I don't know what I'd do without you
There's no one else I'd rather run to

[Verse 3]
Barefoot on a beach with the ocean wide
I said "I do" with you by my side
The waves rolled in like a brand new start
You gave unending love to my heart
Every single day you show me, babe
Some things are worth the longest wait

[Chorus]
You make me laugh when the skies turn gray
You chase the hardest days away
When the world gets heavy, you make me smile
Happy anniversary, worth every mile
You're my comfort, you're my steady ground
The love of my life, the best I've found

[Outro]
From a grade school boy to the man I wed
Thank you for the love, and the road ahead
