Personalized song for Carolyn — for an anniversary

The lyrics

[Verse 1]
Carolyn, Springfield PA Young Life 1980 is where it all began
We laughed through those first winter nights, friends before any plan
You wear that smile now in Lewis, Delaware, I still see it every day
Homemade Italian food on Sundays, you cook, I’d clear the way
Thirty-six years and counting, three sons filled up our Downingtown home
Three grandkids now steal our hearts, Bella loving us everyday
We built our life from ordinary days that never fade
I chose you then, I choose you now, in every vow we made

[Chorus]
Thirty-six years, my chosen heart in Lewis, Delaware
Carolyn, I’d still pick you now, I’d find you anywhere
Best friends, partners, every day I swear
Thirty-six years, my chosen heart in Lewis, Delaware

[Verse 2]
Carolyn, Viking cruises past and future, our passports marked with Italian dreams
Fine dining on special nights, holding hands between the scenes
Cooking side by side, your laughter in the kitchen light
Massages after long days, you always know how to make it right
Lifelong friends and stories growing old
Bella curled up by your feet, three grandkids in from the cold
The little things we’ve gathered, the big adventures too
Thirty-six years of living, and I still come home to you

[Chorus]
Thirty-six years, my chosen heart in Lewis, Delaware
Carolyn, I’d still pick you now, I’d find you anywhere
Best friends, partners, every day I swear
Thirty-six years, my chosen heart in Lewis, Delaware

[Bridge]
Anniversary candles flicker, Viking cruise photos in a row
Italy calling us back again and again, just say the word and we’ll go
Three sons, three grandkids, Bella chasing them through the yard
Homemade Italian food, the taste that’s always ours
Lifelong friends, laughter filling the air
Lewis, Delaware, our anchor, the place we share
Every piece of this life, every day, every card
Carolyn, thank you for thirty-six years of heart

[Final Chorus]
Thirty-six years, my chosen heart in Lewis, Delaware
Carolyn, I’d still pick you now, I’d find you anywhere
Best friends, partners, every day I swear
Thirty-six years, my chosen heart in Lewis, Delaware
