Twenty-Five Years Ago Verse 1 Twenty-five years ago, two kids were falling hard, She wore Alpha Kai letters, I wore Beta on my heart. We were young and crazy, thought we knew what life would be, But looking back now, girl, God knew more than we could see. We didn't have a roadmap, didn't know where we'd end up, Just two college sweethearts and a whole lot of growing up. Then we packed our dreams and took a chance on Indiana, Funny how a gamble can turn into a lifetime plan. Chorus And I'd choose you again, like I did back then, Through the best days and the heartaches, through the loss and the wins. Four boys came along and turned our house upside down, But you were always the steady when the world was spinning round. Twenty-five years, and I'm still thanking Heaven above, For a girl who gave me forever, And a life that God built out of love. Verse 2 You gave up a career so our family could grow, You gave more than anybody ever really knows. While I was chasing a career and trying to build our name, You were building four young men who would carry on the same. There were long days, short nights, and a thousand little prayers, A few dreams that got postponed, but somehow we got there. And every sacrifice you made, every road that we walked through, Made me realize the greatest thing I ever loved was you. Chorus And I'd choose you again, like I did back then, Through the highways and the heartaches, through the loss and the wins. Four boys came along and turned our house upside down, But you were always the steady when the world was spinning round. Twenty-five years, and I'm still thanking Heaven above, For a girl who gave me forever, And a life that God built out of love. Bridge We've chased sunsets in places we'd never been, Collected stories and memories around the world again. But my favorite destination, after everywhere we've gone, Is still waking up beside you when the night gives way to dawn. I believe some things are written long before we know, And maybe that's why somehow, twenty-five years ago, God put you in my path, and I think He knew I'd see That the greatest adventure of my life Would be you and me. Final Chorus So I'd choose you again, a thousand times again, I'd take the college days, the boys, the roads, the unexpected turns. I'd take Indiana on a gamble, every mile that brought us here, Every laugh, every tear, every unforgettable year. Twenty-five years, and somehow I love you more, Than that young man could've dreamed of When you walked sat down in front of me. And if Heaven gives us fifty more years to live, I'll spend every one beside you, With everything I've got to give. Outro Twenty-five years ago, You became my home. And after all these years, my love, I'd still rather go Anywhere... As long as I go with you.
