Chris

I was fourteen, you were sixteen, so sweet and strong

My very first love, where my fondest memories belong

Three years we shared before our paths had to part

But time couldn't erase the writing on my heart

It’s been forty-four years since we went our own way

But I’ve cared for you, Chris, every single day

I love you from the bottom of my heart

Always have, always will, even when we're apart

You hold the only key, you make me complete

My faithful best friend, so gentle and sweet

No matter the distance, no matter the view

I have never stopped loving you

I know the road is heavy and you're facing a trial

But I see the godly man behind your handsome smile

A leader of faith, so compassionate and kind

The most understanding spirit I could ever find

Lean on my shoulder when the shadows descend

I am standing right here, faithful to the end

I love you from the bottom of my heart

Always have, always will, even when we're apart

You hold the only key, you make me complete

My faithful best friend, so gentle and sweet

No matter the distance, no matter the view

I have never stopped loving you

I bow my head and I pray to the Lord above

To restore all the years and reunite this love

To bring us back together when His timing is done

To spend the rest of eternity as one

With God at the center, our guiding light

Walking together by faith, not by sight

I love you from the bottom of my heart

Always have, always will, even when we're apart

You hold the only key, you make me complete

My faithful best friend, so gentle and sweet

Through all of the seasons, and all we go through

Chris, I have never stopped loving you

No, I have never stopped loving you
