25 Years and Counting

(Verse 1)

Met her online in an AOL chat,

Didn’t know then where love was at.

First date was dinner at her friend’s place,

Then coffee and laughter, that sweet embrace.

(Verse 2)

We took our time, let the good love grow,

Christmas Eve, church lights aglow.

I dropped to one knee, heart in my hand,

She said yes, and I became her man.

(Chorus)

Twenty-five years and counting strong,

Through every move, we’ve carried on.

From childhood dreams to Florida sun,

Back up north, still on the run.

Through every storm, through every tear,

I’d do it all again, my dear.

Whatever time we’ve got ahead,

Let it be as blessed as the years we’ve led.

(Verse 3)

We bought the house she loved as a child,

Her smile lit up every mile.

Retired and moved to the ocean breeze,

Then settled down with quiet ease.

(Bridge)

Her health’s been rough, the days are long,

But love’s the reason I stay strong.

It’s my vow, my sacred part,

To care for her with all my heart.

(Chorus)

Twenty-five years and counting strong,

Through every move, we’ve carried on.

From childhood dreams to Florida sun,

Back up north, still on the run.

Through every storm, through every tear,

I’d do it all again, my dear.

Whatever time we’ve got ahead,

Let it be as blessed as the years we’ve led.

(Outro)

So here’s to love that never fades,

To coffee dates and Christmas Eves.

To every home and every town,

She’s my world, still spinning round.

Twenty-five years, and I still believe,

She’s the best thing that’s happened to me.
