James

Late night phone calls, staying up till dawn

I never thought I'd fall so deep, but you proved me wrong

Every month you'd make the trip from Connecticut to here

Just to spend a week with me and make my skies so clear

Then you packed up your whole life and moved to Michigan

My loyal, funny gentleman, my very best friend

You work so hard, you help the world, you never judge a soul

James, you took my broken pieces and you made me whole

You are my heart, my steady, and my strong

The place where all my laughter and my deepest hopes belong

I love you to the moon and back, you make my heart feel free

Eight beautiful years, babe, and an eternity to be

I never thought I'd find a love like this

But you changed my forever with a single kiss

We’ve chased the autumn colors up the northern woods

Riding side-by-sides and snowmobiles just because we could

Watching freighters at the Soo Locks, cruising on the sea

And braving Cedar Point just because you sat with me

From the Hoover Dam and Vegas to the Smoky Mountain pines

Every mile I travel with you is a treasure in my mind

You are my heart, my steady, and my strong

The place where all my laughter and my deepest hopes belong

I love you to the moon and back, you make my heart feel free

Eight beautiful years, babe, and an eternity to be

I never thought I'd find a love like this

But you changed my forever with a single kiss

Of all the trips we’ve taken, there’s one that stands apart

That night in Frankenmuth when you asked for all my heart

Down on the lighted bridge, with my mom and dad right there

You asked me to be yours, and the answer was a prayer

I want to grow old with you, my faithful and my true

I'd never choose another, James, it always will be you

'Cause you are my heart, my steady, and my strong

The place where all my laughter and my deepest hopes belong

I love you to the moon and back, you make my heart feel free

Eight beautiful years, babe, and an eternity to be

I never thought I'd find a love so true

I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you
