We rode through sunrise by the lake. Two wheels, one world we got to make. With every mile and every view, I knew I found my way to you. You make life feel like music. You make life feel like music. Every moment, every tune. From the quiet in the kitchen to the stars above. You turn the ordinary into something I don't want to lose. Ava Jordan, me and you, you make life feel like music. Pasta boiling on the stove, dancing barefoot soft and slow. Charlie barking at the door, but we I don't hear him anymore. The way you look when you're not trying. The way you hold me when I'm crying. It's more than love. It's something deep. It's every promise we will keep. You make life feel like music. Every heartbeat sings your name. From the mountaintops we've climbed to the sunshine. In the rain. You turn the everyday into a melody so true. Ava Jordan, me and you, you make life feel like music. And when we're old and gray and slow, still biking down that old dirt road, I'll still be right here by your side, still in awe you chose this ride. You make life feel like music. Every note of our chance to build a love that never fades like our first dance. You turn this life into a song we wrote together. Ava Jordan, now and forever. You make life feel like music. Aah!
