Herbert

We started out so simple, just to see what we could be

But the hours turned to sunrise, and you felt like home to me

One day bled into a second, then a third and fourth and five

That first date was the moment that you brought my heart alive

You were patient from the start, letting every wall come down

The sweetest soul I'd ever met, you turned my world around

Oh, Herbert, you're the anchor that I hold onto

So loyal to your family, to your friends, and to the truth

You give your love so freely, you're the center of my life

And I will love you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you till the end of time

Wandering through Eastern Europe, making memories as we roamed

Every city that we visited, you always felt like home

Then we stood before our loved ones on the day we said "I do"

Every picture from our wedding shows my heart belongs to you

You're the husband that I dreamed of, always steady, always kind

Leaving every single shadow of my lonely days behind

Oh, Herbert, you're the anchor that I hold onto

So loyal to your family, to your friends, and to the truth

You give your love so freely, you're the center of my life

And I will love you till the end of time

Yeah, I will love you till the end of time

Patient when the world is rushing by

Sweet and loving when the heavy tears are in my eyes

You hold us all together with a quiet, steady grace

There is nowhere else I'd rather be than wrapped in your embrace

Oh, Herbert, you're the anchor that I hold onto

So loyal to your family, to your friends, and to the truth

You give your love so freely, you're the center of my life

And I will love you till the end of time

From that five-day first date, till the end of time

I will love you till the end of time
