Neil

December twenty-third, nineteen sixty-six

I was fifteen, you were eighteen, the perfect mix

Three nights of going out, leaning in for our first kiss

I let a little fart slip, I thought I ruined it

But you just started smiling, you didn't even groan

You fell in love right there and laughed all the way home

Neil, you always told me that I’m the one you adore

Since January twenty-fourth, nineteen seventy, and so much more

Fifty-six years together, and we still feel brand new

We still laugh and kiss and cuddle, just like we used to do

Through every single season, my heart has been so touched

I just want to tell you, Neil, I love you so much

I still remember when you came to meet my dad

In a striped shirt and checked pants, the boldest look you had

Dad took one look and chuckled, he didn't back down

He said, "I didn't know the circus was in town!"

Then you gave forty years to Holmwood Highgate's name

Turned it to a massive success, you won the long game

Neil, you always told me that I’m the one you adore

Since January twenty-fourth, nineteen seventy, and so much more

Fifty-six years together, and we still feel brand new

We still laugh and kiss and cuddle, just like we used to do

Through every single season, my heart has been so touched

I just want to tell you, Neil, I love you so much

We've traveled round the whole wide world as Lord and Lady would

Seen the sights and lived the life, and man, the life is good

But my favorite place to be, when the day is through

Is staying in our bed, watching TV with you

Passing round the jellybeans, safe inside your arms

Still completely captivated by your quirky charms

Neil, you always told me that I’m the one you adore

Since January twenty-fourth, nineteen seventy, and so much more

Fifty-six years together, and we still feel brand new

We still laugh and kiss and cuddle, just like we used to do

From that December evening, my soul was truly touched

I just want to tell you, Neil, I love you so much
