From the Ground Up

Grandma and grandpa painted a picture of sixty-five years And one little house More than a memory More than saying I do Kiss you goodnight's and I love you's Me and you baby, walk in the footsteps Build our own family One day at a time Ten little toes, a painted pink room Our beautiful baby looks just like you And we'll build this love from the ground up Now 'til forever it's all of me, all of you Just take my hand And I'll be the man your dad hoped that I'd be And we'll build this love from the ground up For worse or for better And I will be all you need Beside you I'll stand through the good and the bad We'll give all that we have And we'll build this love from the ground up This life will go by In the blink of an eye But I wouldn't wanna spend it without you by my side The cloud are gonna roll The earth's gonna shake But I'll be your shelter through the wind and the rain And we'll build this love from the ground up Now 'til forever it's all of me, all of you Just take my hand And I'll be the man your dad hoped that I'd be And we'll build this love from the ground up For worse or for better And I will be all you need Beside you I'll stand through the good and the bad We'll give all that we have And we'll build this love from the ground up Someday we'll wake up With thousands of pictures Sixty-five years in this little house I won't trade for nothing, the life that we built I'll kiss you goodnight and say I love you still And we'll build this love from the ground up For worse or for better And I will be all you need Beside you I'll stand through the good and the bad We'll give all that we have And we'll build this love from the ground up From the ground up
