My Slim Adonis

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a story 'bout a screen and a smile, A face that made me pause for a while. At seventy-two, I almost turned away, But somethin' in that moment said, "stay." We talked for hours, lost track of time, And the magic stirred this heart of mine. [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a beautiful thing, We met in the winter, but he gave me spring. Hand in hand, heart to heart, side by side, A courage I found I no longer hide. Celebrate this life, celebrate this day, Love came late, but love came to stay. [Verse 2] From May to August, a birthday lunch in the sun, I met your friends and I knew you were the one. By October, we couldn't bear to part, December the twenty-sixth, I gave you my heart. They all said it wouldn't last, oh, but look at us now, Still standin' here, still keepin' the vow. [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a beautiful thing, We met in the winter, but he gave me spring. Hand in hand, heart to heart, side by side, A courage I found I no longer hide. Celebrate this life, celebrate this day, Love came late, but love came to stay. [Bridge] My slim Adonis, my Jules, my own, Two artists painting a life we've grown. [Verse 3] Seventy-nine, and I'm number 9, Your Dyane, your Rubenesque valentine. Grateful for every sunrise we share, For the brave new beginning, the answered prayer. Happy birthday, my Jules, my dearest friend, This love story has no end. [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a beautiful thing, We met in the winter, but he gave me spring. Hand in hand, heart to heart, side by side, Forever your Dyane, forever your bride. [Outro] Celebrate this life, celebrate this day, My Jules, my love, you're here to stay.
