A song for Rachel from Marcus

[Verse 1]
Rachel, I still see that tent bowing in the rain
Our first date, soaked through, grinning just the same
We laughed until the morning turned the hills to gold
And somehow in that downpour, I knew what I’d been looking for

[Pre-Chorus]
Ten years married, and I still find new ways
To thank the lucky night that led me to your name

[Chorus]
Rachel, you’re the home I carry everywhere
Rachel, every ordinary day is sweeter with you there
Ten years in, and I would choose you all again
My best friend, my love, my wife—my always, Rachel

[Verse 2]
You wear my old college hoodie, sleeves pulled past your hands
Monday lunch, your sticky notes make even long days land
A little crooked heart, a joke I know by now
I fold it up and keep it close; you still know how

[Pre-Chorus]
Through every changing season, every road we’ve known
The smallest things you do keep making us a home

[Chorus]
Rachel, you’re the home I carry everywhere
Rachel, every ordinary day is sweeter with you there
Ten years in, and I would choose you all again
My best friend, my love, my wife—my always, Rachel

[Bridge]
If the rain came back, I’d laugh there by your side
No need for perfect weather with your hand in mine
And when another Monday finds me on my way
I’ll read your note and feel you with me through the day

[Final Chorus]
Rachel, you’re the home I carry everywhere
Rachel, every ordinary day is sweeter with you there
Ten years in, and I would choose you all again
My best friend, my love, my wife—my always, Rachel

[Outro]
Rachel, ten years down, and still my favorite view
Every little Monday note says I’m still falling for you
