June Named Daphne

Verse 1 Met her when the world was wide, Eleven years ago somehow we found our stride, Young and broke but rich in dreams, Laughin’ at the way life never goes as planned, it seems. We grew up slow, we grew up strong, Learned when to stay quiet, learned when to hold on, Through every season, every test, She’s been my home, yeah, my best guess. Chorus And I married Claire on a November day, Cold air, warm vows, yeah I still hear her say, “Forever’s not scary if it’s me and you,” God knew what He was doin’ when He made her true. Now the future’s kickin’ down our door, With paw prints on the floor and love we can’t ignore, Yeah, my whole world’s clearer, With a June named Daphne, and a life with Claire. Verse 2 There’s Enzo chasin’ shadows down the hall, Pearl curled up like she owns it all, Sunday mornings, coffee cold, Dreams get bigger the longer we grow old. We’ve seen storms roll in real fast, Learned that not every road’s built to last, But hand in hand, mile by mile, She makes the hard days feel worthwhile. Chorus Yeah, I married Claire on a November day, Promises spoken, hearts on display, Said “I do” with shaky hands, Never been more sure of where I stand. Now the future’s knockin’ soft but sure, Little heartbeat we already adore, Yeah, my whole world’s clearer, With a June named Daphne, and a life with Claire. Bridge I don’t know what kind of man I’ll be, But I swear I’ll try to be the one she sees, When she looks at me with her mama’s eyes, I’ll show her love don’t ever have to say goodbye. Chorus ‘Cause I married Claire on a November day, And every day since feels the same, A little scared, a lot of grace, Thankful just to share this place. From midnight cries to first steps here, I’ll be right there through every year, Yeah, my whole world’s clearer, With a June named Daphne, and a life with Claire. Outro Eleven years, and we’re just startin’ now, Two dogs, one dream, and sacred vows, Yeah, my forever’s written right there— In a girl named Daphne, and a woman named Claire.
