Patrick

Way back in Florida, nineteen ninety-nine

You used to come around my job just to catch my eye

You'd stand there looking, but you never spoke a word

The sweetest kind of silence that I ever heard

I felt your energy, I knew what you were on

A quiet kind of steady that I wanted all along

Oh, Patrick, you’re the one who holds it down

Through every single up and every single down

Twenty-five years since we said "I do"

And I’m still so deeply in love with you

You make sure we're cared for, you make sure I’m right

My patient, loving husband, my guiding light

You finally found your voice, asked to see where I was from

I took you on that journey, and look how far we've come

Two thousand and one, we made a brand new start

A promise at the altar, a merging of the heart

We built this family, we weathered every storm

You wrap your arms around us, you keep us safe and warm

Oh, Patrick, you’re the one who holds it down

Through every single up and every single down

Twenty-five years since we said "I do"

And I’m still so deeply in love with you

You make sure we're cared for, you make sure I’m right

My patient, loving husband, my guiding light

You always keep me smiling with the funny things you say

Encouraging my spirit when I'm having a hard day

You wake up every morning just to see what I might need

You make sure that I'm healthy, you're the air that I breathe

I appreciate the little things, the way you care for me

The rock of this whole family, the only place I'd be

Oh, Patrick, you’re the one who holds it down

Through every single up and every single down

Twenty-five years since we said "I do"

And I’m still so deeply in love with you

You make sure we're cared for, you make sure I’m right

Forever and always, my guiding light
