Gary

A mutual friend introduced us back then

I didn't know what it would start

With your outgoing laugh and your funny, warm smile

You walked right on into my heart

It’s been twenty long years since that very first day

And I still love the way that you shine

You're the loving, good man I’m so lucky to hold

And I thank God that you are still mine

Gary, we’ve been through hell and back

But we never let go of the line

We raised up a son and we built up a life

And I'm so glad to call you mine

I'm sorry for all my mistakes in the past

I promise I'm staying so true

I would never do a thing to hurt what we have

I truly love only you

Now we’ve finally bought our forever home

With the boxes and tools on the floor

We’re fixing it up, side by side in the dust

Like we’ve done so many times before

Every room that we paint, every wall that we mend

Is a piece of the love that we share

When I look at this house and I look at my husband

I know there is nothing to compare

Gary, we’ve been through hell and back

But we never let go of the line

We raised up a son and we built up a life

And I'm so glad to call you mine

I'm sorry for all my mistakes in the past

I promise I'm staying so true

I would never do a thing to hurt what we have

I truly love only you

I want you to know how much I appreciate

The grace and the patience you show

I’m leaving my past mistakes in the past

And I just need to make sure you know

There is nobody else, there will never be

It's you and it's only you for me

Gary, we’ve been through hell and back

But we never let go of the line

We raised up a son and we built up a life

And I'm so glad to call you mine

I'm sorry for all my mistakes in the past

I promise I'm staying so true

I would never do a thing to hurt what we have

I truly love only you

Yeah, twenty years down in our forever home

And I truly love only you
