Jeremy

I was waiting tables at R-Place in Morris, Illinois

You were driving trucks, just a hardworking boy

For a year I’d seen eleven-eleven on the clock

Wishing for a man who would be my solid rock

I’d feel your eyes upon me before you turned the bend

I'd turn to see you smiling, my favorite kind of friend

My heart would start to race, the butterflies would fly

Fate walked around the corner and looked me in the eye

Oh, Jeremy, you’re the man I wished for all along

Funny, giving, caring, you keep this family strong

From that first eleven-eleven to the vows we made to stay

My heart belongs to you, no matter what kind of day

We were meant to be, we’ll always fight to hold the line

My husband and my best friend, I’m so glad that you're mine

We built a happy friendship before we lit the spark

Waiting in a Walmart parking lot in the dark

You fought through all the traffic just to give me my first kiss

And showed me that a real love actually feels like this

September twenty-sixteen, we finally shared a door

Every single morning made me love you even more

Oh, Jeremy, you’re the man I wished for all along

Funny, giving, caring, you keep this family strong

From that first eleven-eleven to the vows we made to stay

My heart belongs to you, no matter what kind of day

We were meant to be, we’ll always fight to hold the line

My husband and my best friend, I’m so glad that you're mine

March of twenty-eighteen brought our daughter, Chloe Grace

Watching you become a dad put a smile upon my face

August twenty-twenty-two, I gave my hand to you

September twenty-twenty-five, our own house feeling new

We keep making memories, ambitious and so bright

I look forward to forever when I kiss you every night

Oh, Jeremy, you’re the man I wished for all along

Funny, giving, generous, you keep this family strong

From that first eleven-eleven to the vows we made to stay

My heart belongs to you, no matter what kind of day

We were meant to be together, we’ll always hold the line

My lifelong companion, I’m so glad that you're mine
