My Happy Ever After

(Verse 1) I spent twenty years walking down a different road Carrying a heavy heart, a weary kind of load I thought I knew the rhythm, thought I’d seen the view But I was just a ghost until the day that I met you Now the sun hits the porch in a brand new light And I don’t have to wonder where I’m sleeping tonight. (Chorus) Oh, Carry Anne, you’re my one true love The kind of grace a man only dreams of After twenty years of trying, I finally found the truth It’s a love more pure than the fire of my youth You’re my finish line, my steady hand My happy ever after, Carry Anne. (Verse 2) They say time is a thief, but I say it’s a guide ’Cause it led me through the desert to the beauty by my side I used to fear the silver that was turning in my hair But looking in your eyes, I ain't got a single care The best part of my story didn't start 'til I was grown But with you, I feel a peace I’ve never known. (Bridge) I can see us on the swing when the seasons fade to gray Growing old together, watching every yesterday Hand in hand, heart to heart, just the way it’s meant to be You’re the only soul that’s ever really rescued me. (Chorus) Oh, Carry Anne, you’re my one true love The kind of grace a man only dreams of After twenty years of trying, I finally found the truth It’s a love more pure than the fire of my youth You’re my finish line, my steady hand My happy ever after, Carry Anne. (Outro) Yeah, you’re my forever... The one I’m growing old with, Carry Anne. My happy ever after.
