Met in October, twenty-thirteen
A prank led to the unforeseen
You said "I like anal," but it wasn't true
I knew right then, I was meant for you
Years we circled, like a dance of fate
Finally together, it couldn't be late
Discovered love, in its purest form
This is why, they write these songs
This is our life, through wrong turns and dead ends
By your side, my love never bends
Together we'll stand, through joy and strife
With this ring, forever, this is our life
Promised to be the shoulder you lean on
Love your boys as if they were my own
Burn the bacon, just the way you like
Planning our future, in the darkest night
Years we circled, like a dance of fate
Finally together, it couldn't be late
Discovered love, in its purest form
This is why, they write these songs
This is our life, through wrong turns and dead ends
By your side, my love never bends
Together we'll stand, through joy and strife
With this ring, forever, this is our life
Married in October, 'fifteen was the year
The date added up to 42, so clear
Two kids, Zach and Rick, they grew
Moved a few times, our love stayed true
Youngest lab manager, on this coast's line
Industrial tech, now facilities are mine
Kids moved out, a year or so past
Empty nesters now, at the beach at last
Years we circled, like a dance of fate
Finally together, it couldn't be late
Discovered love, in its purest form
This is why, they write these songs
This is our life, through wrong turns and dead ends
By your side, my love never bends
Together we'll stand, through joy and strife
With this ring, forever, this is our life
Always by your side, my love will never fade
Take this ring, be mine, in this love we made
Forever we'll be, through all the strife
With this ring, forever, this is our life
