about

I wrote this in honor of Tammy and my wedding anniversary. I promised her a song before we got married. It only took me 43 years to deliver!

lyrics

How Can It Be?

For all these years
She lay next to me each night
Softly breathing
Until the morning light

When she rises
And floats throughout the day
Moving softly
And tender are her ways

CHORUS
How can it be?
That someone such as I
Has a place
With her side by side

And when she smiles
She lights up any room
And she’s the reason
That my heartstrings are in tune

And when I’m scared
Of the path that we have chose
Her gentle touch
Tells me her heart knows

We can do it
So forward we both go
Hand in hand
Into the dark unknown

CHORUS
How can it be?
That someone such as I
Has a place
With her side by side

And in the night
When I’m laying wide-awake
My mind racing
And my heart’s about to break

I look at her
Sleeping soft and warm
And then I know
We can weather any storm

How can it be?
How can it be?

How can it be?
After all that we’ve been through
That she’s still here
And knows just what to do

When the world
Crashes down around my head
And I feel like
I’m hanging by a thread

CHORUS
How can it be?
That someone such as I
Has a place
With her side by side

Some things are rare
Almost never known
But in my life
The seed of love has grown

Into a rose
So perfect in my eyes
I stare in wonder
Can’t help but question why

How can it be?
How can it be?


LAST CHORUS

How can it be?
That someone such as I
Has a place
With her side by side

How can it be?
How can it be?
