We were just a couple kids back in high school
When you made a stage right out in the street
You didn't care about playing it cool
Dancing on the car, sweeping me off my feet
You shouted out your love for the whole world to hear
And you haven't stopped loving me for forty-five years
ChorusOh Mike, you're the wise and funny man I adore
The hardworking husband I thank the good Lord for
Since nineteen eighty-one, when we said "I do"
I've been so incredibly blessed just loving you
We grew up together raising our family tree
Now we get to grow old, just you and me
Verse 2You always kept us safe, protective and strong
Working day and night to build a beautiful life
Two wonderful sons who learned right from wrong
Watching how their father always loved his wife
Now there's eight grandchildren running down the hall
And I look at you, my love, and I cherish it all
ChorusOh Mike, you're the wise and funny man I adore
The hardworking husband I thank the good Lord for
Since nineteen eighty-one, when we said "I do"
I've been so incredibly blessed just loving you
We grew up together raising our family tree
Now we get to grow old, just you and me
BridgeIt's hard to find the words to explain what you mean
But God bringing us together was my favorite dream
If I had to go back to the start of the line
I would do it all over, as long as you're mine
Final ChorusOh Mike, you're the wise and funny man I adore
The hardworking husband I thank the good Lord for
Since nineteen eighty-one, when we said "I do"
I've been so incredibly blessed just loving you
We grew up together raising our family tree
Now we get to grow old, just you and me
I will love you forever, through all space and time
Forever your Mindy, and forever you're mine
