[Intro]
Mmm… yeah…
This love right here…
It’s God‑given.
It’s soul‑deep.
It’s forever.

[Verse 1]
July ’03, girl, you asked me first,
Put forever on my heart, made my whole soul burst.
Then Christmas came around, and I dropped to one knee,
Put a ring on your finger — you were already my peace.
We were young, but the love felt ancient,
Two souls aligned, heaven‑sent, no replacement.
Every moment with you feels like time slows down,
Like the world fades away when you’re around.

“When you’re around… when you’re around…”

[Hook]
Lord, thank You for the moments You let me spend with my wife,
For the closeness, for the softness, for the warmth in our life.
From the Poconos nights to the fifty‑yard line,
You showed me heaven on earth through the woman that’s mine.
For sickness and health, through joy and through pain,
Til death do us part — my heart won’t change.

“My heart won’t change… won’t change…”

[Verse 2]
We traveled the world, baby, just you and me,
Turning anniversaries into memories meant to be.
Every place we touched felt sacred, divine,
Like God pressed pause and said, “This moment is mine.”
The Poconos… candles glowing on your skin,
Fireplace dancing while the night pulled us in.
Then my fiftieth birthday — unforgettable sight,
Standing on the fifty‑yard line with my queen that night.
Dallas‑Fort Worth shining, your hand in mine,
I swear I saw forever in your eyes that time.

“Forever… forever… in your eyes…”

[Hook]
Lord, thank You for the moments You let me spend with my wife,
For the closeness, for the softness, for the warmth in our life.
From the Poconos nights to the fifty‑yard line,
You showed me heaven on earth through the woman that’s mine.
For sickness and health, through joy and through pain,
Til death do us part — my heart won’t change.

[Bridge]
Thank You, Lord…
For letting me love her slow…
For letting me hold her close…
For letting me grow with her,
Year after year.

“Hold her close… hold her close…”

[Verse 3]
Twenty‑three years together, nineteen wearing your ring,
And every year taught me what real love means.
You’re my comfort, my fire, my midnight calm,
My safe place, my heartbeat, my shelter from harm.
You’re the woman I choose in every lifetime,
The rhythm in my soul, the reason for my shine.
And as long as I’m breathing, as long as I’ve got life,
I’ll honor the vow I made when I called you my wife.
Through sickness and health, through whatever may start,
You’re forever in my arms, forever in my heart.

“Forever… forever… in your heart…”

[Outro]
Yeah…
Thank You, Lord…
For her touch, her voice, her love, her life.
And thank You for every moment still to come.
Forever…
That’s exactly how long we will be together.
