I still remember that first night
You smiled and said I looked
like somebody's wife
I laughed it off,
but something in your eyes
Told me you were a man
with a deeper kind of life
Didn't know then what time would
prove true
One day I'd be standing hand
in hand with you
All those late night calls,
every word we shared Made me
feel your heart long before you
were there And when we finally
met, it was clear to me
My soul already knew where it
wanted to be Thirty-one years of
love
And you're still my guiding light
My blessing, my best friend
The strength by my side
Through the storms,
through the fire You held on
with faith so strong Saying you
had enough For both of us
when mine was gone
And I'll love you forever Through
every turn and every storm
My partner, my shelter The keeper
of my heart
We stood before God and promised
our whole lives And you lived
every vow with unwavering pride For
better or worse,
you stayed steady and true For
richer or poorer,
I could always count on you
In sickness and in health,
you never walked away You chose
me, you held me every single
day You made my well-being your
sacred place Loved me with patience,
with tenderness and grace And here
we are now
Still in love just the same
as our very first night Thirty-one
years of love
And you're still my guiding light
My blessing, my best friend
The strength by my side
Through the storms,
through the fire You held on
with faith so strong Saying you
had enough
For both of us when mine
was gone
And I'll love you forever
Through every turn and every storm
My partner, my shelter The keeper
of my heart
You were my rock when my
hope fell thin You lifted me
up and helped me breathe again
With every trial,
every mountain we climbed You proved
love is a promise that stands
the test of time
Thirty-one years of love
And you're still my guiding light
My blessing, my best friend
The strength by my side
Through the storms,
through the fire You held on
with faith so strong Saying you
had enough For both of us
when mine was gone
And I'll love you forever
Through every turn and every storm
My partner, my shelter The keeper
of my heart
