(For Pam)
The first time that I saw you, like an angel in disquise
You turned and looked right back at me with dark and gorgeous eyes
I thought about you constantly, but felt I had no chance
To be with such a pretty girl, but fate brought me romance
The first time you went out with me, my head was in the clouds
I tried to hide my pounding heart, beating way too loud
I don’t recall another face, you were all that I could see
Holding tightly to my hand, like you belonged to me
You’ve been here through the darkest times
Through heartbreak, pain, and tears
You’ve always been beside me
And shared my hopes and fears
I’ve held your hand in happy times
I’ve watched you giving life
You’ve been my friend, my nurse, my guide
My lover and my wife
Nearly twenty years we shared
We’ve been through everything
For nearly twenty years you cared
And wore your wedding ring
We’ve climbed so many mountains
And shared so many dreams
No one could ever take away
The happy years we’ve seen
No matter what the future holds
You’ll be here in my heart
The way that you have always been
Right from the very start.
