How Did I Get So Lucky

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I fell for you on that very first call, Before I really knew you at all. Something in your voice felt steady and sure, Like somehow my heart already knew yours. I couldn’t have known what the years would reveal, The depth of your heart, the strength that I’d feel. I only knew I wanted more of you— I had no idea then all that I knew. [Chorus] Oh, Robert, you’re the quiet kind of strong, The steady place where we all belong. You’ve loved us in a thousand unseen ways, Keeping us safe through all of our days. And the longer I love you, the more I see Just how much you’ve always meant to me. After all these years, one thing is still true— How did I get so lucky loving you? [Verse 2] For years I never gave a second thought To all the little things your loving brought. You just made things safe, you made things right, Made sure we were cared for every night. Family first was never something you’d say, It was simply how you lived every day. Provider, protector, constant and true— Love was in everything I watched you do. [Chorus] Oh, Robert, you’re the quiet kind of strong, The steady place where we all belong. You’ve loved us in a thousand unseen ways, Keeping us safe through all of our days. And the longer I love you, the more I see Just how much you’ve always meant to me. After all these years, one thing is still true— How did I get so lucky loving you? [Verse 3] If something is broken, they’re calling your name, At home or next door, it’s always the same. Our own MacGyver, you’ll figure it out, Long before the rest of us know what it’s about. And I used to just trust that somehow you knew, Never stopping to wonder how much you would do. Now I see the man I was blessed to find— That beautiful heart and remarkable mind. [Bridge] I didn’t begin to know what you were, I only knew how you made me feel sure. But life has shown me, year after year, The soul of the man I’ve had beside me here. Thoughtful and loving, logical and tough, Always giving, never asking enough. My rock, my safe place, my closest friend— And somehow I keep falling for you again. [Final Chorus] Oh, Robert, you’re the quiet kind of strong, The love I somehow knew all along. You’ve spent your life making ours feel secure, With a love that is steady, selfless and sure. And the longer I know you, the more I see What an extraordinary man you are to me. I admire you, adore you, need and desire you— And I’m still so madly in love with you. [Outro] I fell for your voice before I knew All of the reasons I’d keep choosing you. And after this life that we’ve made it through— How did I get so lucky loving you?
