So it's year 25, looks like we made it,
The tears and the joy, we've seen them through,
From the sound of laughter, to the sound of weeping,
Blindsided, by what we never knew,
Oh, the twists and the turns,
Oh, the ups and downs,
Love is never quite as simple as it seems,
More than anything I hoped for, so much more than I ever dreamed,
And I just want to thank you, for being here with me,
I hold you when I'm lonely, chase away the blue,
Love without question, is love as the answer,
Growing closer and closer, you know we just can't lose,
You know the winds of change are right around the corner,
And the lightening may strike too close to where we stand,
We can look back, look back and see forever, still it looks like there's always been a plan,
In Year 25, we're still counting, while the master paints his oil on canvas scene,
More than anything else I ever hoped for, you are so much more than I ever dreamed,
More the anything, anything I ever hope for,
Baby, you are so much more than I ever dream.
as you wrote "funny how that works" when I began to listen to this song I automatically thought it was your dedication to your wife....began listening at the New Songs page & just had to come over to your page to get a closer view & listen ~ this is beautiful ...lyrics & vocals
Rename to Year 45 for me for next year,
Ironically you posted on my 44th anniversary....I love this, beautiful!!!!
Amazing song, remarkable you..
You could nail Jell-O to the wall!
My favorite aspect of this song is the lyrics. Complex, multilayered and real! Great job folks.
Love the chord progression, expert songwriting with heartfelt lyrics and the always fabulous vocals.
Awesome tune

This song came as the result of a request to write a 25th anniversary song, which I had misunderstood to be about a happily married couple, only to learn later it was a request to write a 25th anniversary song for the church where we play. So I wrote another song called "Bride Of Christ".
I soon realized that I had written "Year 25" for my own family.
Funny how that works.
