Michelle

You were standing right there, you were only sixteen

With the most beautiful smile that I’d ever seen

Holding a chocolate cake right in your hands

And right then and there, I was making my plans

I didn't need time, I didn't hesitate

I knew my forever was holding that plate

I reached in my pocket, completely carefree

And on that very first day, I gave you my key

They say you can’t have your cake and eat it too

But I did the day that I first looked at you

Michelle, you are the one whom my soul loves

The sweetest reward from the heavens above

From that first spark of magic to where we are now

I’m still madly in love, and forever I vow

The seasons kept turning, the years flew right by

But the spark never faded from your loving eyes

Forty-six years of a beautiful life

Alongside my best friend, my partner, my wife

Three wonderful children to carry our name

Eleven grandchildren to fan out the flame

Through all of the chapters, the highs and the lows

My love for you deepens, it only just grows

They say you can’t have your cake and eat it too

But I did the day that I first looked at you

Michelle, you are the one whom my soul loves

The sweetest reward from the heavens above

From that first spark of magic to where we are now

I’m still madly in love, and forever I vow

Who gives a girl a key on day number one?

A man who just knows that his searching is done

I looked at your smile and the future was clear

And we've kept it shining for forty-six years

They say you can’t have your cake and eat it too

But I did the day that I first looked at you

Michelle, you are the one whom my soul loves

The sweetest reward from the heavens above

From that sweet sixteen to where we are now

I’m still madly in love, and forever I vow

Yeah, I'm still madly in love, and forever I vow
