Started out with a dream in my hand
Bat on my shoulder I take my stand
Chasing the pitch I took every swing
But the game I was playing could have cost me everything
I spent so long trying to hit that home run (home run)
But looking back I see what I've done
Through every miss every strike I knew
I never struck out with you (never struck out with you)
Years passed by like innings in a game
The scoreboard of life filled with joy and pain
But in the stands you were always there
Cheering me on showing you cared
I spent so long trying to hit that home run (home run)
But looking back I see what I've done
Through every miss every strike I knew
I never struck out with you (never struck out with you)
Now the kids are grown they've seen it all
Watched me stumble watched me fall
They've watch the wins seen the ties Speak of truth and share no lies
But they also saw how love remains
Through every storm through every rain
I see my legacy it's not in the score
It's in the love that we've built and more
With you beside me through thick and thin
I know now where the real win's been
I spent so long trying to hit that home run (home run)
But looking back I see what I've done
Through every miss every strike I knew
I never struck out with you(never struck out with you)
Now I see that the real win was here
In the love that lasted year after year
No championship ring no glory could ever compare
To the love we built the life we share
I spent so long trying to hit that home run (home run)
But looking back I see what I've done
Through every miss every strike I knew
I never struck out with you(never struck out with you)
So here's to the moments the highs and lows
To the love that stood through the ebbs and flows
In your eyes I see the truth so clear
With you I've always won my dear
The best base i ever stole was first(first) and that was with you (you)
You (you)
I spent so long trying to hit that home run (home run)
But looking back I see what I've done
Through every miss every strike I knew
I never struck out with you(never struck out with you)
