Ashley My Home

[Verse 1]
my wife, my best friend Ashley
husband Fred, that’s me
She ties the day together
like thread in a winter tree
She gets up before the sun
and still comes home with grace
A hundred little heavy things
and a smile on her face

[Pre-Chorus]
I see it all
the quiet and the care
The hands that hold it up
when nobody’s there

[Chorus]
Ashley, Ashley
you make this life feel right
Till the day I die
I’m by your side
Ashley, Ashley
your heart shines through
You do so much
more than they ever knew

[Verse 2]
She remembers every birthday
every doctor call
She carries everyone
and never drops the ball
She laughs through broken moments
turns worry into gold
She keeps our little world
warm when the nights get cold

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
what the whole room misses
Is the love in the work
in the smallest of kisses

[Chorus]
Ashley, Ashley
you make this life feel right
Till the day I die
I’m by your side
Ashley, Ashley
your heart shines through
You do so much
more than they ever knew

[Bridge]
My best friend, my home
my answered prayer
I’d choose your name
in every single year
When the days run long
and the load feels steep
I’ll be right there
and I’ll keep that keep

[Chorus]
Ashley, Ashley
you make this life feel right
Till the day I die
I’m by your side
Ashley, Ashley
your smile breaks through
You do so much
more than they ever knew
