more than an average Jim

More Than just An Jim

To my husband, my Jim

1

Sometimes life gets moving so fast,

And the words I mean to say slip past.

Through the long days and everything we do,

I don’t always stop and tell you what’s true.

But I see the way you carry it all,

How you keep standing when the road gets hard.

And even when I don’t say it enough,

My Jim, I see your heart, and I feel your love.

Verse 2

Twenty-five years of loving you,

And somehow it still feels new.

From the first night our story started,

Something in me just knew.

From Club Stratus and those early days,

To the Overlook beneath the sky,

We were building something bigger

Before we even knew why.

We were young and making memories,

Learning love as we went along.

And somehow through every changing season,

You became my safest song.

Pre-Chorus

And after all these years together,

There’s something I still need you to know…

Chorus

I love you more than you know,

More than these words could ever show.

You make me laugh, you make me smile,

You’ve made twenty-five years worthwhile.

When the world gets heavy, dark, and cold,

You somehow find a joke to hold.

My husband, my Jim, wherever life may go,

I’ll love you more than you know.

And thank you for loving me,

Through everything we’ve been through.

Thank you for standing beside me,

And letting me stand beside you.

Verse 3

I remember Ocean City,

Our honeymoon, just me and you.

Trips to Erie, miles of memories,

And all the ordinary moments too.

Then our two lives became a family,

And our world changed with our son.

Watching everything we dreamed of

Become the life that we had begun.

There were pets that filled our home with love,

Little paw prints through the years,

So many moments filled with laughter,

And some that came with tears.

Every chapter left a memory,

Every season helped us grow,

And looking back across these twenty-five years,

I’d choose you all over, you know.

Verse 4

Our story hasn’t always been easy,

We’ve had mountains we had to climb.

There were days when work kept us separated,

And we missed each other for stretches of time.

There were worries about money,

Times when life tested everything we knew.

Through sickness and through health,

We kept finding our way back through.

We weren’t promised perfect days,

And we certainly didn’t get them all.

But twenty-five years taught me something—

Real love gets back up after every fall.

Through every argument and worry,

Through every change we couldn’t control,

We kept holding onto each other,

And somehow love kept making us whole.

Chorus

I love you more than you know,

More than these words could ever show.

You make me laugh, you make me smile,

You’ve made twenty-five years worthwhile.

When the world gets heavy, dark, and cold,

You somehow find a joke to hold.

My husband, my Jim, wherever life may go,

I’ll love you more than you know.

Thank you for loving me,

When I was easy to love

And when I wasn’t.

Thank you for choosing me,

Again and again.

Verse 5

I see how hard you work for this fa
