Jo

Thirty-five years since the day that we met

A lifetime of moments I'll never forget

We used to sit in this same school hall

Now we work right here, looking back on it all

You pushed me around in a shopping trolley

Acting like fools, yeah, we thought it was funny

Now the years have rolled by, but one thing remains

We're still standing together through sunshine and rain

Oh, Jo, you’re the one I can trust with it all

Catching my stumble before I can fall

We sing out our hearts holding plastic cups

Through all of the downs and the beautiful ups

You’re right by my side, so steady and true

And I promise I’ll always be right there for you

We’re hitting the gym, then we're taking a walk

I cherish the hours we just wander and talk

In inflatable birds running round the school ground

We make our own joy whenever we're down

And when I've had a little too much to drink

You walk me back home before I even think

You never judge, you just help me along

With a laugh and a smile and a karaoke song

Oh, Jo, you’re the one I can trust with it all

Catching my stumble before I can fall

We sing out our hearts holding plastic cups

Through all of the downs and the beautiful ups

You’re right by my side, so steady and true

And I promise I’ll always be right there for you

From the front row at concerts to quiet retreats

You're the kindest soul that anyone meets

Thirty-five years is a beautiful start

To a friendship that's written right into my heart

Oh, Jo, you’re the one I can trust with it all

Catching my stumble before I can fall

We sing out our hearts holding plastic cups

Through all of the downs and the beautiful ups

You’re right by my side, so steady and true

And I promise I’ll always be right there for you
