I often focus on the lyrics of a song and ignore the music of it for the first few play throughs. At first I doubt this statement, but now I know its true, after hours upon hours of the same songs but only acoustic it must be true. I thought I would highlight some of the lyrics that Ive fallen in love with. My wife was amazing today. She took such good care of me. Allowed me to defocus on the children, to relax and not focus on the stress. I love my children but having them for so long at a time is stressful when I cant correct or change any of the things they do. Their mother is constantly downplaying our involvement and coaching the children to not enjoy our house or the things we do for them. Today she did the dishes, made lunch, folded and washed clothes, helped manage the kids and all of this with a smile on her face and love in her heart. I think that is so beautiful and I am so grateful for a woman like this in my life. I just hope I dont screw it up. She is better than I deserve. So these are some lyrics that when I hear remind me and allow to focus on how why and how much I love my wife.(not that I need help, just is nice to sing it ☺)

I won’t let go — Rascal Flatts

“I know its dark

This part of life

It finds us all but we’re too small to stop the rain

Oh but when it rains

I will stand by you

I will help you through

When youve done all you can do

And you cant cope

I will dry your eyes

I will fight your fight

I will hold you tight

And I wont, let, go”

Everything is different now — Don Henely

“I got so tired of that

I got so lonely

Droped down and i called out to heaven

send me someone to love

heaven shot back

you get the love that you allow

and everything is different now”

Close your eyes — Michael Buble

“Its your beauty

that betrays you

your smile gives you away

cuz your made of strength and mercy

and my soul is yours to save

i know this much is true

when my world was dark and blue

i know the only one who rescued me was you”

I wont give up — Jason Mraz

“When your needing your space

to do some navigating

i will be here patiently waiting

to see what you found

even the stars they burn

some even fall

to

the earth

we got a lot

to

learn

god knows we’re worth it”

Walk with you — Edwin McCain

“Dont miss a chance

to put each other first

now that you vowed

for better or for worse

dont let the beauty

of this life pass you by

in the times of trouble

you stand side by side

…

…

Then you know what it feels like

you wont believe what if feels like

you know what it felt like

when she handed you to me”

For my wedding — Don Henely

“For my wedding

I will dress in black

Never again

will I look back

Oh my dark angels

We must part

For I have made a sanctuary of my heart

to want what i have

and to take what i am given

with grace

for this i pray

on my wedding day

For my wedding

I don’t want violins

or sentamental songs about thick and thin

i want a moment of silence

and a moment of prayer

for the love we will need to make it

in the world out there

…

So what makes us any different

From all the others

Who have tried and failed before us

maybe nothing

maybe nothing at all

but I dream we are the lucky ones

I pray we never fall”

Golden — Lady Antebellum

“You are golden

Precious as a prayer flying up through the air

while the rain is falling

timeless as a kiss

i dont want to miss another

peferct

moment

to tell you how you made me feel

the day you strolled in

my heart was stolen

cuz you are golden”
