[Verse 1]
Dm         Dsus4    C
Orlando to Jax on weekends
Dm       Dsus4             C
To hear her laugh, see her smile
Em               Am
After months of dating and calls
Em                   Am
I had to reduce the miles

[Verse 2]
Dm         Dsus4  C
Up late at night talking and laughing
Dm       Dsus4         C
Learning each other's past
Em             Am
Her stories of family and of friends
Em                    Am
The weekends ended too fast

[Chorus]
G                    D        A
Forty years together seems so swift
G               D   A
By happenstance or design
G                 D         A
It really doesn't matter at all
G                    D      A
Our love and respect always shines

[Verse 3]
Dm       Dsus4      C
Children, jobs and many moves
Dm       Dsus4           C
Struggles rise and then they fall
Em                Am
Overtime each challenge improves
Em                   Am
Removed obstacles and walls
