This one is dedicated to my husband who said over two decades ago that he was here for the long haul. Father of our daughter and love of my life. Story of all the ups and downs and staying together as lovers, friends and family.

lyrics

Each time I write about you
I'm speechless
How can I sing about our history
Of how I'm blessed
You see wings where I can not
Through screams and dreams
You stayed by me
My love for life.

Keeping faithful to your vows
Keeping to your word somehow

Here for the long haul
That's what you said
Through the years
You stood by me
Now we're a family
No words or music
Could ever match our symphony
I love you
I'm here for the long haul.

Twenty years have been and gone
We fell apart, we came back strong
Althogh I tried
I never said goodbye
I've done things both right and wrong
Planned my death many times
Somehow you kept me alive.

Keeping faithful to your vows
Keeping to your word somehow

Here for the long haul
That's what you said
Through the years
You stood by me
Now we're a family
No words or music
Could ever match our symphony
I love you

I don't know if there
There is anymore I can say
Thanks to you
I'm a happy girl today.

Here for the long haul
That's what you said
Through the years
You stood by me
Now we are a family
No words or music
Could ever match our symphony
I love you
I'm here for the long haul.

I'm here for the long haul.
