Mark

[Verse 1]
Some love comes in like thunder,
Some love takes its time,
Ours began at the Academy,
Two partners standing in line.
Then I watched you laugh with Janis,
And I knew that you were mine.

[Chorus]
Thank you for loving me, Mark,
Through every storm and every scar,
You carried me when I couldn't stand,
You held my heart in steady hands.
Next to God, you're the reason why
I'm safe and whole and standing high.

[Verse 2]
High-fives in the parking lot,
We traded school and Janis' care,
Through deployments and long goodbyes,
I turned around and you were there.
When I almost left the Army,
You cheered me through each degree.

[Chorus]
Thank you for loving me, Mark,
Through every storm and every scar,
You carried me when I couldn't stand,
You held my heart in steady hands.
Next to God, you're the reason why
I'm safe and whole and standing high.

[Bridge]
You adopted my girl and gave us your name,
Brought my daddy home from Chicago's rain,
Helped me find my way back to Mom,
And when I lost them, you kept me strong.

[Verse 3]
Now our son flies with the Air Force,
Janis raising two little girls,
My family calls you an angel,
Sent from God into our world.
Mark Daley, I hope I give you
All the love you gave to me.

[Chorus]
Thank you for loving me, Mark,
Through every storm and every scar,
You gave me family, gave me home,
I never have to stand alone.
Next to God, you're the reason why
I'm stronger now with you by my side.

[Outro]
From high-fives to forever,
My partner, my rock, the love of my life,
Thank you for loving me.
