Snow on our wedding day

[Verse 1]
I was the new girl down the street
Barefoot summers, dusty feet
Baseball games out in the yard
Hide-and-seek till after dark

We were kids, we didn’t know
Where those summer days would go
Then sophomore year, you took my hand
And somehow, boy, you became my man

[Pre-Chorus]
We were young, but looking back
I think my heart already knew

[Chorus]
There was snow on our wedding day
October of ’88
Two young hearts stood side by side
Promising forever that day

We’ve seen sunshine, we’ve seen storms
Held each other through the pain
Thirty-eight years, and I’d choose you still
In the snow on our wedding day

[Verse 2]
Then Lucas came, and Chauna too
And love grew bigger than we knew
We raised those babies, watched them grow
Then came two grandgirls of our own

We’ve had heartaches, we’ve had tears
We’ve carried burdens through the years
But when this life got hard on me
You found a way to make me laugh
And that’s just what I need

[Chorus]
There was snow on our wedding day
October of ’88
Two young hearts stood side by side
Promising forever that day

We’ve seen sunshine, we’ve seen storms
Held each other through the pain
Thirty-eight years, and I’d choose you still
In the snow on our wedding day

[Verse 3 – quieter]
You’re the one that people call
You show up, you give your all
A Mason and a Shriner too
A widow’s son, tried and true

But I know the man behind those names
The steady heart that’s never changed
The boy who made me laugh back then
Still makes me laugh today

[Bridge – stripped down, just guitar]
Now retirement’s down the road
Maybe it’s time to lighten the load
We’ve spent a lifetime building this life
And I’d do it all again

If I could walk back down that street
And see those kids we used to be
I’d find you there and take your hand
And fall in love again

[Final Chorus – big emotional build]
There was snow on our wedding day
October of ‘88
And every road we’ve traveled since
Has brought us here today

Through every blessing, every loss
Every storm that came our way
Thirty-eight years, Lyndon, I’d choose you still
Just like our wedding day

[Outro – soft]
From hide-and-seek and baseball games
To silver hair and changing days
When retirement comes, wherever we go
There’s just one thing I know

If I had this life to live again
I’d choose you all the same
And I’d stand beside you one more time
In the snow on our weddin
