Brenda

[Verse 1]
Some roads run long and lonely
After forty years of vows
Two hearts that knew forever
Were left with empty houses now
Then a message on a screen one night
And a smile that lit the room

[Chorus]
You built a new life for me
When I thought my heart was through
You hold my hand and the storm goes still
Like it always knew it would with you
We made love work the second time around
Brenda, it grows stronger every day

[Verse 2]
Second date I drove you to the theme park
Didn't stop for breakfast on the way
You asked me for at least some fries
Then the gates were closed that day
So we found a little city park
And laughed the whole afternoon away

[Chorus]
You built a new life for me
When I thought my heart was through
You hold my hand and the storm goes still
Like it always knew it would with you
We made love work the second time around
Brenda, it grows stronger every day

[Bridge]
We said goodbye three times
Thought it wouldn't work out
But we kept coming back like we knew
What this love was all about

[Verse 3]
Your three boys and my three girls
Your heart made room for every one
She says playfully that she is a busy woman
But I'm her Boo-boo, she's Mrs. Boo-boo
Sixteen years of holding hands
And it feels like we've just begun

[Chorus]
You built a new life for me
When I thought my heart was through
You hold my hand and the storm goes still
Like it always knew it would with you
We made love work the second time around
Brenda, it grows stronger every day

[Outro]
A smile that lights the room
A hand that holds mine still
Second time around, forever
