Jerry

It started at the skating rink,

A turning on the floor.

I took your hand and didn't think

I could love someone more.

The year was nineteen eighty-seven,

We stood and made our vow.

And all the grace that fell from heaven

Is resting on us now.

Oh Jerry, with your tender heart,

You chase the dark away.

You bring the laughter to my life,

And light up every day.

Through every season, every bend,

You are my dearest friend.

I'll walk beside you, hand in hand,

Together till the end.

When heavy burdens weigh us down,

You always have a joke.

You turn away the hardest frown

With loving words you spoke.

A cheerful spirit is your gift,

A comfort to my soul.

Whenever I am cast adrift,

Your humor makes me whole.

Oh Jerry, with your tender heart,

You chase the dark away.

You bring the laughter to my life,

And light up every day.

Through every season, every bend,

You are my dearest friend.

I'll walk beside you, hand in hand,

Together till the end.

The years have turned like wooden wheels

Upon that old rink floor.

And every passing moment yields

A reason to love more.

The silver in our hair may show,

As twilight hours descend,

But there is one sweet truth I know,

On you I can depend.

Oh Jerry, with your tender heart,

You chase the dark away.

You bring the laughter to my life,

And light up every day.

Through every season, every bend,

You are my dearest friend.

I'll walk beside you, hand in hand,

Together till the end.
