My Buttercup, My Faithful Friend

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fourteen years ago I found A love I never thought I'd know again My heart was quiet, settled down Then grace walked in and everything began A gentle light, a steady hand Somehow you helped me understand [Chorus] Oh Theresa, my Buttercup When the days grow long, you lift me up Through every season, come what may Your love is faith that lights my way Devotion strong, our celebration You're my heart's true destination [Verse 2] We've weathered storms, we've climbed the years And time has traced its lines on both our faces But I would trade none of these tears For all the tender, hard-won graces When strength runs low, you hold me near Your steady love, it keeps me here [Chorus] Oh Theresa, my Buttercup When the days grow long, you lift me up Through every season, come what may Your love is faith that lights my way Devotion strong, our celebration You're my heart's true destination [Bridge] If I were young, I'd start again Live every moment, every mile No hesitation, no if or when Just you and me and that same smile [Verse 3] So here's to us, Theresa Holstein To all the vows we're living true Through fragile hands and grateful eyes There's no one I would rather hold onto As long as this old heart still beats It beats for you, and love completes [Chorus] Oh Theresa, my Buttercup When the days grow long, you lift me up Through every season, come what may Your love is faith that lights my way [Outro] My Buttercup, my faithful friend I'll love you till the very end
