I THINK THEY CALL IT HEAVEN
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
I know of angels in books, stories, and songs
I thought I saw one once, but I was wrong
They only live in fairy tales
It was so hard to believe, in that much love
From something I can't see, something I can't touch
Where is this world of theirs
I think they call it Heaven
I've seen love die before, that's not something new
And that doesn't seem like something, that an angel would do
How can that be God's plan?
Yes, I lost faith, I threw in the towel
Until I saw her face, and look at me now
Just look at where I am
I think they call it Heaven
(Chorus)
I saw an angel's face, I felt God's grace
How can I describe this place
That she takes me, she's a miracle
She's God's angel
It's unbelievable, but now I believe
I'm on cloud nine, it's hard to describe, but I
I think they call it Heaven
(Verse 2)
The angel I know, she's missing certain things
There's not halo, and she doesn't have wings
But I know how she makes me feel
Her love for me is strong, she makes me smile
She doesn't do me wrong, she goes that extra mile
Now I know they are for real, because
(Chorus)
I saw an angel's face, I felt God's grace
How can I describe this place
That she takes me, she's a miracle
She's God's angel
It's unbelievable, but now I believe
I'm on cloud nine, it's hard to describe, but I...
(Outro)
I saw an angel's face, I felt God's grace
How can I describe this place
That she takes me, she's a miracle
She's God's angel
It's unbelievable, but now I believe
I'm on cloud nine, it's hard to describe, but I
I think they call it Heaven
I think they call it Heaven
WHEN SHE MISSES ME
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
She called me today to tell me that she loves me
She asked me if I thought that she was crazy
For missing me so much
I said no, then told her one of my jokes
She laughed and cried, then told me that it hurts most
When she needs a hug
She's been having crazy dreams about us
The lonely nights are getting to be too much
And I know it's hard
Every now and then she has a bad day
And she doesn't need to hear what I say
She needs my arms
But...
(Chorus)
I'm up north, she's down south
For what it's worth things have worked out
But there are days she gets tears
They go away, but he still has fears
I know it's strange and so unclear
She goes insane, or just gets weird
But that's OK, she gets that way
When she misses me
(Verse 2)
We watch the same shows, and she blows me kisses
But I can't hug her, and I'm the one she misses
Even though we're far apart
When we look at the stars, we see the same ones
We both get burned by same sun
So I'm not that far
(Chorus)
I'm up north, she's down south
For what it's worth things have worked out
But there are days she gets tears
They go away, but he still has fears
I know it's strange and so unclear
She goes insane, or just gets weird
But that's OK, she gets that way
When she misses me
(Verse 2b)
We watch the same shows, and she blows me kisses
But I can't hug her, and I'm the one she misses
Even though we're far apart
When we look at the stars, we see the same ones
We both get burned by same sun
So I'm not that far
Though...
(Chorus)
I'm up north, she's down south
For what it's worth things have worked out
But there are days she gets tears
They go away, but he still has fears
I know it's strange and so unclear
She goes insane, or just gets weird
But that's OK, she gets that way
When she misses me
WONDERFUL
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
You can wonder what tomorrow holds
Will be hot? Or will it be cold?
You might wonder what your life would be like
Never sure if your decisions were right
Can you make it in a different town?
Have faith in God, He won't let you down
You can wonder if you'll have romance
But you'll never know unless you take a chance
You can wonder about so many things
But if you're wondering...
(Chorus)
Does he love me?
Don't doubt it!
I think of us, does he?
I think about it!
When I'm missing him, does he miss me?
Baby, it's the truth
You wonder this, you wonder that
Don't be fooled
You're full of wonders and that just makes you
Wonderful!
(Verse 2)
You might wonder how you found your love
Was it destiny? Or just good luck
You can wonder why things happen like this
Was it fate? Or just coincidence
Can you make it in a different town?
Have faith in God, He won't let you down
You can wonder if you'll have romance
But you'll never know unless you take a chance
Yes, you can wonder why it's happened to you
What you did to find a love so true
You wonder why your mind is wandering, well
While it wanders if you wondering...
(Chorus)
Does he love me?
Don't doubt it!
I think of us, does he?
I think about it!
When I'm missing him, does he miss me?
Baby, it's the truth
You wonder this, you wonder that
Don't be fooled
You're full of wonders and that just makes you
Wonderful!
Does he love me?
Don't doubt it!
I think of us, does he?
I think about it!
When I'm missing him, does he miss me?
Baby, it's the truth
You wonder this, you wonder that
Don't be fooled
You're full of wonders and that just makes you
Wonderful!
You're wonderful
(Bridge)
You're full of beauty, you're so beautiful
I'm full of thanks, yes I'm thankful
That you're full of wonders, and you're wonderful
There's no doubt about it, you are
Wonderful!
(Chorus)
Does he love me?
Don't doubt it!
I think of us, does he?
I think about it!
When I'm missing him, does he miss me?
Baby, it's the truth
You wonder this, you wonder that
Don't be fooled
You're full of wonders and that just makes you
Wonderful!
(Outro)
You're full of wonders and that just makes you
Wonderful!
You're wonderful
You're full of beauty, you're so beautiful
I'm full of thanks, yes I'm thankful
That you're full of wonders, and you're wonderful
There's no doubt about it, you are
Wonderful!
ALWAYS HAVE
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
Will I give to you all the love I have
Will I promise to give it all I can
Will I do it right from the start
And every day near or apart
Will I keep you here in my heart
(Chorus)
I always have, I am, I will
Long after the world is standing still
I'll be there by your side
And I'll be there all my life
If you're asking me, Will I?
The answer I give is still
I always, I am, I will
(Verse 2)
Will I be with you and no one else
Will I love you more than life itself
Will I keep the promise that I've made
And every moment here or away
Will I be loving you every day
(Chorus)
I always have, I am, I will
Long after the world is standing still
I'll be there by your side
And I'll be there all my life
If you're asking me, Will I?
The answer I give is still
I always, I am, I will
I always have, I am, I will
Long after the world is standing still
I'll be there by your side
And I'll be there all my life
If you're asking me, Will I?
The answer I give is still
I always, I am, I will
(Outro)
If you're asking me, Will I?
Yes, I will
If you're asking me, Will I?
Yes, I will
I always, I am, yes I will
THREE WISHES
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
Never rubbed on a lamp and found myself a genie
Never chased down a leprechaun
Never walked outside on a clear dark night
And wished upon a shooting star
And I never entered the fortuneteller's tent
Down at the county fair
Never cared to blow out my birthday candles
In only one breath of air
Yeah...
(Chorus)
I didn't know that I had three wishes
But I love how they all turned out
I've got good health, a great group of friends
And a family that I care about
Yes, I got all that I always wanted
On the day that I married you
And I didn't even know that I had three wishes
But I'm happy they all came true
(Verse 2)
I never tugged at my eye for my lashes
Never played tug-of-war with a bone
Don't know any gypsies, fairies or pixies
A magic wand is something I don't own
Never rubbed on the horn of a white unicorn
Never read a book of spells
But I have extra money in my pocket
Cause I didn't throw it down any wells
Yeah...
(Chorus)
I didn't know that I had three wishes
But I love how they all turned out
I've got good health, a great group of friends
And a family that I care about
Yes, I got all that I always wanted
On the day that I married you
And I didn't even know that I had three wishes
But I'm happy they all came true
(Outro)
I didn't even know that I had three wishes
But somehow they all came true
THE BEST PART
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
Life and liberty are things I started with
But happiness, I got from her
We all have the one we're meant to find
Deep inside, I know it's her
(Chorus)
Her heart pumps my blood
I breathe her love
And if all of that is not enough
She makes my dreams all they can be
And makes my life more than my dreams
Ever since I've known her from the start
She's become the best part of my heart
(Verse 2)
I've never had in my possession a wealth of gold
My wealth untold, is holding her
If passion and desire can ignite a flame
Then in her name, I will burn
If I made a list of what I need to live
The list I'd give, would just list her
(Chorus)
Her heart pumps my blood
I breathe her love
And if all of that is not enough
She makes my dreams all they can be
And makes my life more than my dreams
Ever since I've known her from the start
She's become the best part of my heart
Her heart pumps my blood
I breathe her love
And if all of that is not enough
She makes my dreams all they can be
And makes my life more than my dreams
Ever since I've known her from the start
She's become the best part of my heart
(Outro)
Long before she ever said she'd be my wife
She became the best part of my life
MY FAVORITE DAY
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
Maybe on Monday you'll have a bad day
Lose your patience and take it out on me
Maybe on Tuesday you'll go out of your mind
And say some things you really don't mean
Maybe on Wednesday the stress will be high
Frustration will win, when kindness is beat
Maybe on Thursday you'll need the right words
But the tone of my voice is not what you need
(Chorus)
Yesterday, today, all day, any day, every day
It's simple enough
In this way, that way, in every way
Those are the days you have my undying love
When asked what is my favorite day
I just got to say, I hope you hear me
The question is simple, and the answer is easy
My favorite day with you, is always the next one
(Verse 2)
Maybe on Friday you'll find a new problem
With something that isn't a problem for me
Maybe on Saturday you'll feel all alone
When we're not together you become incomplete
Maybe on Sunday you'll find something new
But I'm less enthused then you seem to be
You know me
You know me
(Chorus)
Yesterday, today, all day, any day, every day
It's simple enough
In this way, that way, in every way
Those are the days you have my undying love
When asked what is my favorite day
I just got to say, I hope you hear me
The question is simple, and the answer is easy
My favorite day with you, is always the next one
(Outro)
If asked again, I will answer again my love
My favorite day with you, is always the next one
It's always the next one
The next one with you
And that's just about all I need to say
About my favorite day, with you
My favorite day, is always the next one
With you

I give amazing praise, to His amazing grace
For an amazing woman, who gives me amazing days
In amazing ways

From an amazing woman, who gives amazing lifts
From an amazing kiss
(Chorus)
The most amazing part, of an amazing start

HAPPY, MERRY ANNIVERSARY
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
At times we thought you both were a bit tough
But as kids we never listened much
I can't believe how much you did for us
Then we grew up, and now we miss that stuff
In terms of parents you're a cut above
You both taught us how to live and love
It's a gift one could never give enough
And we cherish all you've given us
To be like you is what I wish for us
And we will pass it to our kids with luck
(Chorus)
So from your kids, their wives, their kids, and me
We wish you a happy, merry, anniversary
I can't believe that it's been 50 years
You bet your ass that we'll be drinkin' beers
You have to celebrate a love like that
It's quite a feat, so please raise your glass
Here's to 50 years, mom and dad
Here's to the fears, and all the tears you had
Far outnumbered by the gaffes and laughs
50 years of marriage is quite the feat so
From your kids, their wives, their kids and me
We wish you a happy, merry anniversary
(Verse 2)
Through thick and thin you've shown us how
To weather storms and make it through somehow
Your love has been our guiding light
Through every challenge, every day and night
You built a home full of love and grace
A sanctuary in this hectic place
Your legacy of love will never fade
In our hearts, the memories are made
So raise a glass of milk, juice, beer, or wine
To toast a love that stood the test of time
(Chorus)
So from your kids, their wives, their kids, and me
We wish you a happy, merry, anniversary
I can't believe that it's been 50 years
You bet your ass that we'll be drinkin' beers
You have to celebrate a love like that
It's quite a feat, so please raise your glass
Here's to 50 years, mom and dad
Here's to the fears, and all the tears you had
Far outnumbered by the gaffes and laughs
50 years of marriage is quite the feat so
From your kids, their wives, their kids and me
We wish you a happy, merry anniversary
(Outro)
Your love's a beacon guiding us through life
Through every joy, an every strife
With gratitude and love we celebrate thee
And wish you a happy, merry anniversary
Your love's a beacon guiding us through life
Through every joy, an every strife
With gratitude and love we celebrate thee
And wish you a happy, merry anniversary
LAND OF THE FREE
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
We honor those who fought for the American dream
Freedom isn't free, as we know too well
Dreams get scattered like leaves in the breeze
With every wrinkle, there's a story to tell
We look for peace when someone ceases to breath
Like the twinkle of a star that has fell
Dangerous freedom beats peaceful slavery
So let's keep ringing that liberty bell
(Chorus)
Faded and worn, tattered and torn
Those lost, we mourn, as freedom is born
Under starlit skies, with unwavering minds
Our courage will rise, like the flag that defies
Through battles and cries, the trials we face
Our spirit survives in this sacred place
With colors held high, and voices so true
We honor the past in red, white, and blue
Bombarded all night, into the dawn's early light
We stood steadfast, and never gave up the fight
It was September 14, in the year 1814
In Baltimore, Maryland, in the early morning
When an amateur poet named Francis Scott Key
Wrote about the home of the brave and the land of the free
(Verse 2)
We hold onto all the memories we can snag
For they're like footprints in the shifting sands
We hope that those who follow us pick up the flag
Time has a way of slippin' through our hands
Stop what you're doin', let's all of us stand
It's our national anthem, sing along with me
Take off your hat, cover your heart with your hand
Let's all honor those heroes that made us all free
(Chorus)
Faded and worn, tattered and torn
Those lost, we mourn, as freedom is born
Under starlit skies, with unwavering minds
Our courage will rise, like the flag that defies
Through battles and cries, the trials we face
Our spirit survives in this sacred place
With colors held high, and voices so true
We honor the past in red, white, and blue
Bombarded all night, into the dawn's early light
We stood steadfast, and never gave up the fight
It was September 14, in the year 1814
In Baltimore, Maryland, in the early morning
When an amateur poet named Francis Scott Key
Wrote about the home of the brave and the land of the free
BE YOU
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
You're organized chaos in a de-cluttered mess
But even at your worst, you're still the best
You're a bright shining star, on dark sunny night
Even when you are wrong, about not being right
You could have breakfast for dinner, in the afternoon
Have soup with a fork, and steak with spoon
It really doesn't matter to me what you do
Be you
(Chorus)
I will always never stop loving you
That's just me being me so you be you
If you'll always never stop loving me too
We'll find our way no matter what we do
Together you and I will always be a we
Your day could be a horror, or a comedy
Or you could be the plot twist in a mystery
It really doesn't matter to me
Be you
Be you
(Verse 2)
Like the cold hard truth, in a work of fiction
My love for you, is not a contradiction
You could be a quiet storm, full of peaceful rage
Be the queen of fools, or make a wise mistake
But if I hear you singing, a silent tune
Under the midnight sun, I will sing along too
It really doesn't matter to me what you do
Be you
(Chorus)
I will always never stop loving you
That's just me being me so you be you
If you'll always never stop loving me too
We'll find our way no matter what we do
Together you and I will always be a we
Your day could be a horror, or a comedy
Or you could be the plot twist in a mystery
It really doesn't matter to me
Be you
Be you
(Bridge)
You can wear your sweatshirts, on the hottest of days
It won't matter to me, that's just how I was raised
If you're not wearing make-up, and your hair isn't made up
And you just want to sleep, while I want to stay up
I won't mind if that's what you want to do
Cause life's too short, and our days too few
So it really doesn't matter to me what you do
Be you
(Chorus)
I will always never stop loving you
That's just me being me so you be you
If you'll always never stop loving me too
We'll find our way no matter what we do
Together you and I will always be a we
Your day could be a horror, or a comedy
Or you could be the plot twist in a mystery
It really doesn't matter to me...
(Outro)
You're organized chaos, in a de-cluttered mess
But even at your worst, I still think you're still the best
Together you and I will always be a we
Your day could be a horror, or a comedy
Or you could be the plot twist in a mystery
Yes, it really doesn't matter to me
Be you
Be you
It definitely doesn't matter to me
Be you
Be you
Be you
It'll always never stop mattering to me
Be you
Be you
Be you
REAL MAN
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
I'm thankful for all of my crazy dreams
That luckily, bless me, never came to be
Like the time the Indians had captured me
Then tied me up and tried to burn my feet
Once I rode a dragon who chased a flying car
Driven by a cowboy with a tie-dyed guitar
And one night a knight came riding at me fast
On a fiery steed holding a jousting lance
(Chorus)
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I pray my Lord my soul to keep
And pray nobody ever judges me
For all of my wild and my crazy dreams
I have you, and I'm relieved
That you're not the man of my dreams
You're so much more
I'm thankful for the real world
And I'm glad to have a real man
A real man
(Verse 2)
The other night I had another crazy dream
Sasquatch was lickin' on my chocolate ice cream
While Cinderella sang a sad country song
And I just watched like there was nothing wrong
Heaven help us if my dreams come true
Cause if they did I think we'd all be screwed!
I once dreamed I was being eaten by a big ole bat
Nobody's ever heard me scream like that
I could have had a heart attack
(Chorus)
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I pray my Lord my soul to keep
And pray nobody ever judges me
For all of my wild and my crazy dreams
I have you, and I'm relieved
That you're not the man of my dreams
You're so much more
I'm thankful for the real world
And I'm glad to have a real man
Real man
(Verse 3)
I once helped a goldfish climb the tallest tree
In a tangerine forest, down a peppermint stream
Einstein and Twain just sat there lookin' at me
That's odd, indeed!
Saw an astronaut get married to a pirate ghost
We were on a ship captained by a phantom host
And the thing that I remember the most
I gave the toast!
(Chorus)
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I pray my Lord my soul to keep
And pray nobody ever judges me
For all of my wild and my crazy dreams
I have you, and I'm relieved
That you're not the man of my dreams
You're so much more
I'm thankful for the real world
And I'm glad to have a real man
To have a real man
To have a real man
To have a real man
(Bridge)
In a Facebook world with posers and fakers
Completely surrounded by jokers and takers
I'm thankful for the real world
And I'm glad to have a real man
Yes, I am, so glad to have a real man
(Chorus/Outro)
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I pray my Lord my soul to keep
And pray nobody ever judges me
For all of my wild and my crazy dreams
I have you, and I'm relieved
That you're not the man of my dreams
You're so much more
I'm thankful for the real world
And I'm glad to have a real man
Yes, I have a real man
Yes, I am, so glad to have a real man
I WANT TO BE THERE FOR YOU
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
There's a weight on your shoulders, it's a long hard road
When you take on the burden, of a sizeable load
So if you're running on empty, with miles to go
You'll be glad to know, that you're never alone
(Chorus A)
I'll be your second gear when you need to get going
And your second wind no matter where the wind's blowing
I'll be your rocket fuel when your tank's runnin' dry
And a second pair of hands when your hands are tied
I'll be the net to catch you if you should fall
And I'll build you a door when you hit a wall
Whatever you need in whatever you do
I want to be there for you
(Verse 2)
When the night feels endless, and you're lost in the dark
When the flame flickers low, and you're missing the spark
If the climb feels steeper, with each passing mile
Lean on me, love, let me carry you a while
(Chorus B)
I'll be your second gear when you need to get going
And your second wind no matter where the wind's blowing
I'll be your steady ground when the world spins too fast
And a compass to guide you when you're lost on the path
I'll hold the light to show you when you can't see
And walk beside you wherever you need to be
Whatever you need in whatever you do
I want to be there for you
(Verse 3)
Every step's a battle, baby don't back down
When the road gets rocky, I'll be your solid ground
If you're burning low, I'll light a fire in your soul
And I'll keep your torch burnin' till you reach your goal
Whatever you need in whatever you do
I want to be there for you
(Chorus B)
I'll be your second gear when you need to get going
And your second wind no matter where the wind's blowing
I'll be your steady ground when the world spins too fast
And a compass to guide you when you're lost on the path
I'll hold the light to show you when you can't see
And walk beside you wherever you need to be
Whatever you need in whatever you do...
(Outro)
I want to be there...
Whatever you need in whatever you do
I want to be there...
Whatever you need in whatever you do
In whatever life brings, and whatever you choose
I want to be there for you
I'll always be there for you
HERE'S TO YOU
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
He's got his head in the clouds, his feet on the ground
Solving every puzzle he's found
But he's more than just smart, he's funny and sweet
He's the kind of boy you'd be lucky to meet
He's the life of the party, a heart so true
A mind that shines like all stars do
(Chorus A)
So here's to my boy, who's gifted and bright
Turning every day into a Friday night
With a smile so big, and a laugh so loud
He's besting us all, while making us proud
Yeah, he's sharp as the come, and so much fun
Here's to my son, and all he has done
And to all of the things he has yet to do
Here's to you
(Verse 2)
She's got ink on her hands, and stars in her eyes
Building new worlds in her mind
From gaming at dawn, to skating all afternoon
She's the kind of girl you'd be glad you knew
She's fierce with her sport, soft with her art
A perfect blend of strength and heart
(Chorus B)
So here's my girl, who's creative and smart
Turning every thing into a work of art
With a spirit that shines like a brand new day
Making life more vivid in her own way
Yeah, she's a one-of-a-kind, and so much fun
Here's to my daughter, and all she has done
And to all of the things she has yet to do
Here's to you
(Bridge)
Here's to my boy and my girl
And the best wife in the world
I have the greatest loving family
Here's to me
(Outro)
Thank you all of you
For all that you do
Here's to you
IN TIME
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
By week five, I have begun to thrive
My heart starts to beat, and feel so alive
Growing here inside you safe and warm
Waiting for the day when I am born
By week eight, I have arms and legs
To wrap them around you, would be so great
My little hands continue to grow
One day they'll hold you, never letting go
(Chorus)
Mama's lullaby, carries me through the night
With your love around me, I will be all right
Though we've yet to meet, our hearts are intertwined
Mama, I'm already yours and you are mine
I'll see you
In time
(Verse 2)
By week ten, I continue to grow
Ten little fingers and ten little toes
Mama, I'm your miracle growing every day
In this bond unbreakable, we'll find our way
By week eighteen, you should be able to see
A boy or a girl on an ultrasound machine
My tiny feet are kickin', I'll be coming soon
Little eyes are forming, so I can gaze at you
(Chorus)
Mama's lullaby, carries me through the night
With your love around me, I will be all right
Though we've yet to meet, our hearts are intertwined
Mama, I'm already yours and you are mine
I'll see you
In time
(Verse 3)
By week twenty-nine, my eyes are open wide
I can wait to see you when I come outside
By week forty-one, I'm pretty much done
Ready or not, mama, here I come!
(Chorus)
Mama's lullaby, carries me through the night
With your love around me, I will be all right
Though we've yet to meet, our hearts are intertwined
Mama, I'm already yours and you are mine
I'll see you
In time
(Outro)
In time I'll be walkin', and following you
In time I'll be talking', and swallowing food
In time I'll be learnin', and going to school
In time I'll be turnin' into an adult like you
I hope to be a parent like you with a child of mine
In time
NO BOX CAN HOLD
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
I was young
But I can say
I remember waking up on Christmas day
Matchbox cars
A ball and glove
Action figures, and a laser gun
Wrapping paper
Everywhere
My favorite gift was having all my family there
What I've learned in life I want to share
(Chorus)
No box can hold
The greatest gifts ever given in the world
No jewels, no gold
The special things no box could ever hold
No bows, no card
It's not something framed upon your wall
Not the nicest flowers you ever saw
The gifts that really matter to us all
No box can hold
(Verse 2)
There's a card
For any day
Somewhere next to rhyming words we sign our name
We say thanks
On Thanksgiving
Upon returning from vacation, What'd you bring?
I love you
Marry me
This box I give to you contains a diamond ring
Look not at what it is, but what it means
(Chorus)
No box can hold
The greatest gifts ever given in the world
No jewels, no gold
The special things no box could ever hold
No bows, no card
It's not something framed upon your wall
Not the nicest flowers you ever saw
The gifts that really matter to us all
No box can hold
(Bridge)
Years go by
People die
It's not what we take with us, it's what we leave behind
Even in a box beneath the ground, love will survive
(Chorus)
No box can hold
The greatest gifts ever given in the world
No jewels, no gold
The special things no box could ever hold
No bows, no card
It's not something framed upon your wall
Not the nicest flowers you ever saw
The gifts that really matter to us all
No box can hold
(Outro)
Years go by
People die
It's not what we take with us, it's what we leave behind
Even in a box beneath the ground, love will survive
FOREVER WITH YOU
by Joe Herbert
(Verse 1)
When I first laid eyes on you I knew it was true
A love like ours was meant to pull us through
Through the highs and the lows, the laughter and the tears
We built a life together through all these years
(Chorus)
And I'll be forever by your side
Through every storm and every tide
From the first "I do" to the golden years
You're the love of my life, my heart so near
I'm still falling in love every day
Forever with you is where I'll stay
(Verse 2)
We've walked through fire and we danced in the rain
Hand in hand through the joy and pain
With each sunset and every dawn
It's you in my arms I keep holding on
(Chorus)
Yes, I'll be forever by your side
Through every storm and every tide
From the first "I do" to the golden years
You're the love of my life, my heart so near
I'm still falling in love every day
Forever with you is where I'll stay
(Verse 3)
There's no place I'd rather be
Than right here with you next to me
Through every chapter, every mile
It's your love that makes life worthwhile
(Chorus)
And I'll be forever by your side
Through every storm and every tide
From the first "I do" to the golden years
You're the love of my life, my heart so near
I'm still falling in love every day
Forever with you is where I'll stay
(Outro)
So here's to us, to this love we've grown
To a future together, never alone
With you in my life, I've got it all
Forever by your side, standing tall
