Chad

[Verse 1]
Thirty-five years since that summer day,
banners and armor in the fray.
A baroness with a crown to wear,
a captain kneeling, guarding there.
Friends in the firelight, side by side,
long before I could call you mine.

[Chorus]
You are my knight in shining armor,
steady and true through every storm.
Every winding road that led me home,
led me back to your open arms.
My best friend, my heart, my brave,
this is the love that time gave.

[Verse 2]
Sixteen years and a world apart,
two states, two lives, one patient heart.
Through the goodbyes and the letting go,
somehow the ember refused to slow.
Then single at last, we took the chance,
and turned an old friendship into this dance.

[Chorus]
You are my knight in shining armor,
steady and true through every storm.
Every winding road that led me home,
led me back to your open arms.
My best friend, my heart, my brave,
this is the love that time gave.

[Bridge]
Chad, you're gentle when the world is hard,
your understanding is my safest guard.
Nineteen years and I'd still choose you,
the joy, the comfort, the tender true.

[Verse 3]
So here's to us and the vows we made,
the quiet strength that never frayed.
Chad, my husband, my dearest friend,
I'd walk this road all over again.
Sword laid down and your hand in mine,
loving you deeper with every mile.

[Chorus]
You are my knight in shining armor,
steady and true through every storm.
Every winding road that led me home,
led me back to your open arms.
My best friend, my heart, my brave,
this is the love that time gave.

[Outro]
Chad, my knight, forever true,
happy anniversary, I love you.
