Bud

Bud, it’s your day

and I just want to say

the way you looked at me

changed everything that day

Love at first sight

felt so right, so real

you smiled that smooth-talk smile

and I still feel how I feel

Now look at us

still standing here

you close, me close

year after year

Bud, I really love you

I really love you

Bud, I really love you

I pray we last forever

Bud, I really love you

I really love you

My heart stays with you

I pray we last forever

Then I met your sisters

and you met my family

all those little moments

made a home for you and me

Every name, every laugh

every table we shared

showed me what it means

to know somebody care

And through it all

you stayed so true

the man you are

kept pulling me through

Bud, I really love you

I really love you

Bud, I really love you

I pray we last forever

Bud, I really love you

I really love you

My heart stays with you

I pray we last forever

So here’s my memory

I carry it like gold

the way you love me gently

the way you hold me close

The birthday candles glow

and I’m thanking God tonight

for every step we took

for making our love so right

And if time keeps moving

I want our story seen

in every family table

in every future dream

Bud, I really love you

I really love you

Bud, I really love you

I pray we last forever

Bud, I really love you

I really love you

My heart stays with you

I pray we last forever

Happy birthday, Bud

my loving smooth talker

I really love you

forever and ever
