Ric

[Verse 1]
Some nights the past still whispers low
Of poison words and heavy rain
I used to think that's all love was
A door that opened into pain
Then you rode in, my own white knight
And taught my heart to breathe again

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Ric, my love
You're the best part of me
With tender hands and a steady heart
You set this weary spirit free
In every thoughtful way you care
I see the man you chose to be

[Verse 2]
We said I do on seven, seven, seven
You took my hand and four small hearts
RyAnn and Jamen, Talyn, Dustin
You loved them all right from the start
You notice when my strength runs low
And hold me till the storm departs

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Ric, my love
You're the best part of me
With tender hands and a steady heart
You set this weary spirit free
In every thoughtful way you care
I see the man you chose to be

[Bridge]
You showed me a man can care
That tenderness takes strength to give
Compassion lives in all you do
You taught me how to truly live

[Verse 3]
And then you brought our Ricky in
The best son from another mother
Now nearly seven grandbabies
Are learning grace from one another
So blow the candles, make a wish
I'll choose you over any other

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Ric, my love
You're the best part of me
With tender hands and a steady heart
You built the home I longed to see
In every thoughtful way you care
I'm thankful for the man you'll always be

[Outro]
Seven, seven, seven, our lucky day
My white knight, my safe and steady home
You healed what I could not repair
You're the best part of me, always there
