Nicole

Forty years ago, the whole world changed

The very first time I said your name

I held you close, so small and new

And gave my heart right over to you

Nicole, the time has flown so fast

But every memory is built to last

Oh, Nicole, you are so deeply loved

More than words could ever say enough

You're patient and you're beautifully strong

With a loving heart where you belong

No matter the years that we're moving through

I'll always be here, just loving you

I watch the way you walk through life

Through the quiet days and the heavy nights

You take your time, you understand

Always reaching out a steady hand

It’s in the grace of everything you do

And the beautiful spirit inside of you

Oh, Nicole, you are so deeply loved

More than words could ever say enough

You're patient and you're beautifully strong

With a loving heart where you belong

No matter the years that we're moving through

I'll always be here, just loving you

Four decades of watching you shine

I still thank the stars that you are mine

Through every season, through every phase

This feeling I have will never fade

Oh, Nicole, you are so deeply loved

More than words could ever say enough

You're patient and you're beautifully strong

With a loving heart where you belong

Forty years of a dream come true

Nicole, I am so completely proud of you
