When You Love Your Wife Verse 1 I still see that Sunday mornin’ light When she walked in, changed my life Didn’t know then what I know right now But somethin’ said, “Boy, don’t let go somehow” She had a smile that pulled me in Like I’d known her all my life back then And a quiet Voice deep inside Said, “That’s your girl, walk by her side” Pre-Chorus Years roll on, but truth don’t lie Love shows up, it don’t say goodbye Chorus When you love your wife You don’t turn and run when the road gets tough You hold her close, you stay in love Through every tear and every smile You build it strong, mile by mile When you love your wife She’s the dream you never outgrow She’s the fire that still burns slow And after all this time goes by You still see your world in her eyes Verse 2 We raised those kids, watched ‘em fly Waved goodbye with teary eyes Now there’s grandbabies runnin’ ‘round Still got her hand, still on this ground We took some roads we’d never planned Just two hearts and a travelin’ van And every day I’m thankful I didn’t just find love… I found you Pre-Chorus Time keeps movin’, seasons change But real love stays the same Chorus When you love your wife You don’t turn and run when the road gets tough You give your heart, you give enough Through every year and every mile You fall in love again each time When you love your wife She’s the one you’re livin’ for Still the one you adore And after all this time goes by You still feel that first night Bridge (Strait-style, simple + heartfelt) Fifty-six years, I’d do it again Every high, every low, every bend Still get caught when she walks by Still get lost in those same eyes Yeah I laugh thinkin’ back somehow She’s still got me right now Still that man, still that life Still in love with my wife CALL & RESPONSE CHOIR SECTION (Stage Moment) When you love your wife… Choir (clapping, stomping): You hold on tight!
