Verse 1)
The winter air was biting, but the lights were glowing gold
I was walking through a story that I thought had all been told
Fifteen years of quiet, fifteen years of standing tall
Building every bridge alone, and catching every fall
I’d learned to carry every weight, to fix what came apart
I’d locked the doors and swept the dust from the corners of my heart
Then the calendar turned a page I never saw coming through
Christmas Eve of twenty - four, the night I first met you.
(Chorus)
Oh, Allen, I’m so glad I finally found you
The world is warmer just by being around you
From the struggle and the shadows to this bright and steady ray
I’m sending all my love—Happy Valentine’s Day.
(Verse 2)
I used to think that "doing it all" was just the way it goes
But you stepped into the picture, and the heavy feeling froze
You’re right there in the details, you help, you give, you share
In every little thing you do, I feel you standing there
I don’t have to fight the wind alone or navigate the dark
You brought the light of morning to a long-forgotten spark
From my perspective, it wasn’t luck that brought us here to stay
Someone up above looked down and pointed us the way.
(Chorus)
Oh, Allen, I’m so glad I finally found you
The world is warmer just by being around you
From the struggle and the shadows to this bright and steady ray
I’m sending all my love—Happy Valentine’s Day.
(Verse 3)
Now the house is humming with a brand new kind of life
You’re the steady hand that takes away the struggle and the strife
From the home improvement projects to the leaks you always fix
To the way you handle dinner and the way you’re in the mix
Every night you prep my meds and bring them with a smile
You go the extra distance and you walk the extra mile
And even when I’m griping 'bout the details and the dust
You just keep on loving me with a heart that I can trust.
(Chorus)
Oh, Allen, I’m so glad I finally found you
The world is ten shades warmer just by being around you
From the struggle and the shadows to this bright and steady ray
I’m sending all my love—Happy Valentine’s Day!
(Verse 4)
You’re out there in the driveway or you’re busy in the hall
Filling every stubborn hole and painting every wall
From the sheetrock in the guestroom to the sawdust on the floor
You’re the kind of man they just don’t make much anymore
You took that weathered backyard shed and made a it look so new
With a bar and a chandelier, you made my dream come true
Then you’re washing every dish and you’re serving up the plates
Man, a love like yours is worth every year I had to wait.
(Corus)
Oh, Allen, I’m so glad I finally found you
The world is warmer just by being around you
From the struggle and the shadows to this bright and steady ray
I’m sending all my love—Happy Valentine’s Day.
(Verse 5 - Bridge)
Thank you for being in my life, for the kindness that you show
For the way you make things better everywhere we go
It’s a different kind of music now, a sweeter kind of song
After fifteen years of "me," it’s "us" and now where I belong.
You make my life better, honey...
Thank you for sharing this dusty road...
Yeah, Allen, you’re the best gift I’ve ever known.
Someone up above looked down and pointed us the way
Knew just what we each needed to get through every day.
(Chorus)
Oh, Allen, I’m so glad I finally found you
The world is warmer just by being around you
From the struggle and the shadows to this bright and steady ray
I’m sending all my love to you, happy Valentines day
