Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nineteen seventy-three, that classroom door First grade at PS 95, we were young and pure Something sparked I couldn't name back then A quiet little crush that grew into a friend Through all the seasons, we kept holding on Time wasn't on our side, but the feeling stayed strong [Chorus] He calls me beautiful, his everything And loves my smile, oh how it makes me sing He will never let me go, that's what he swore My love, my best friend, forevermore Roy, my soulmate, through it all You catch me every time I fall [Verse 2] The timing never lined up right, it's true But every year I found my way back to you A hardworking, loving, romantic man Making me laugh, always understanding We stayed close through the miles and years Sharing our joy, wiping away the tears [Chorus] He calls me beautiful, his everything And loves my smile, oh how it makes me sing He will never let me go, that's what he swore My love, my best friend, forevermore Roy, my soulmate, through it all You catch me every time I fall [Bridge] The proudest moment, hand in mine When you said "you're my everything," divine Fifty-nine years young today And still I love you, come what may [Verse 3] So happy birthday to my dearest one Our story's written, but it's not yet done Maybe this life, or maybe one to come We'll finally be together, two made one Hope keeps me holding to that dream More real, my Roy, than it might seem [Outro] One day, in this life or another shore You'll be mine, and I'll be yours Happy birthday, my love, my everything
