Prompt:

Verse 1 Back in ’83 at the Marriott Hotel, Super Bowl night, the world loud, but you saw me so well. You took my hand like you already knew, And you whispered one day I’d say “I do.” Pre Chorus Who could’ve known what God was starting then, A promise spoken long before amen. Chorus Rufus, it’s you — it’s been you all along, Through every low, every high, every right, every wrong. Forty years later and our love’s still strong, Held together by grace, where our hearts belong. Your nine and my one made a family of ten, And I’d choose this life with you again and again. Verse 2 In ’86, we stood face to face, Two hearts steady in a sacred place. We vowed forever, and we meant every line, And God’s been faithful through the test of time. Pre Chorus We’ve had storms that tried to shake our ground, But love stood firm, we never backed down. Chorus Rufus, it’s you — it’s been you all along, Through every low, every high, every right, every wrong. Forty years later and our love’s still strong, Held together by grace, where our hearts belong. Your nine and my one made a family of ten, And I’d choose this life with you again and again. Bridge Look at the children we raised, how they’re woven together, A living reminder of our forever. And every prayer we whispered in the hardest nights Became the strength that carried us into the light. Final Chorus Rufus, it’s you — my forever, my friend, My beginning, my blessing, my story’s end. Forty years later, and I still hold on, To the man who made my heart his home. God sustained us, love remained strong, And I’ll keep loving you for a lifetime long Rufus Rufus .
