I still remember that first date,
The way you smiled and looked my way,
Never knowing then how far That first hello would take our hearts.
And that first kiss under Carolina skies,
In the App State stadium parking lot that night,
Somehow I knew, right from the start,
You’d be the one to hold my heart.
You’re my one and only,
my forever man, My soulmate,
my love, my best friend.
When this world gets heavy and I don’t understand,
I know I’ve got a safe place to land.
In your arms, I can finally breathe,
With your hand in mine,
you’re all I need.
Through every high, through every low,
Marty, you’re the home my heart has always known.
I love those beautiful eyes of yours,
And that smile still melts me like it did before.
Your loving hugs, your patient heart,
The way you hold me
when life gets hard.
We’ve shared so many miles in the car,
Just laughing and talking underneath the stars.
Sometimes nowhere is where we need to go,
Just you beside me,
and I’m already home.
You held me close when I lost my dad,
You helped me through the hardest days I’ve ever had.
You understood the tears I couldn’t explain,
You never walked away from my hurt or my pain.
You’ve seen every side of me
and loved me
just the same,
And I thank God every day
that I get to share your name.
You’re my one and only,
my forever man, My soulmate,
my love, my best friend.
No matter what comes,
I know where I stand,
Safe in your arms,
with your heart in my hands.
You’re a wonderful dad,
an amazing husband, The greatest love I could ever imagine.
From that first kiss to forever’s road,
Marty, you’re my heart,
my home, my safe place to land.
So here’s to the laughter,
the kisses, the miles,
The three little hearts and your beautiful smile.
Here’s to forever, wherever life takes us— You’re my one and only,
My soulmate,
my best friend, And the place
my heart will always call home.
(sweet home)
