Shylah

[Verse 1]
A parking lot, a summer sky,
Two strangers as the world walked by.
I found the words, I found the nerve,
Held out a can and said "Wanna beer?"
And somethin' told me, deep and clear,
My other half was standing here.

[Chorus]
Twenty years of you and me,
Against the world, the way it's meant to be.
Through every storm and brand new start,
You've had my hand, you've held my heart.
Oh Shylah, I'd do it all again,
No question, girl, I'd say "I do" again.

[Verse 2]
Down where the tide meets Long Beach sand,
We walk with nothing planned.
The kids are grown but still they come,
This family we've made from two to some.
You make a feast from empty shelves,
And light the room just by yourself.

[Chorus]
Twenty years of you and me,
Against the world, the way it's meant to be.
Through every storm and brand new start,
You've had my hand, you've held my heart.
Oh Shylah, I'd do it all again,
No question, girl, I'd say "I do" again.

[Bridge]
The ones we lost still walk with you,
Your mom, your dad, our brothers too.
They're watching close through every mile,
And I still fall for that smile.

[Verse 3]
A new job now, four walls, a chair,
I know it's strange, but I'll be there.
Your gift to laugh, your gift to mend,
To always love, forgive, and bend.
Shylah, my heart was through with searchin' when
You came along and made me whole again.

[Chorus]
Twenty years of you and me,
Against the world, the way it's meant to be.
Through every storm and brand new start,
You've had my hand, you've held my heart.

[Outro]
Not for all the money, not one thing I'd change,
Just you and me, and love that stays the same.
