Douglass

I was eighteen, just trying to find my way

You were fifteen, but you already knew what to say

While the other boys were out running the streets

You were right by my side, making my life complete

You traded the games and the teenage nights

To stay in the quiet and be my guiding light

Oh, Douglass, my fiancé, my heart and my soul

You're so funny and wise, you make my spirit whole

You remember the small things, every detail of me

You’re exactly the man that I need you to be

Yeah, you're exactly the man that I need you to be

I had two nephews to raise, heavy weight on my mind

But a teenage boy like you was so rare to find

Instead of hanging with friends, doing what young kids do

You stepped right up, and you helped me pull through

You gave up your time just to build us a home

And you made sure I never had to do it alone

Oh, Douglass, my fiancé, my heart and my soul

You're so funny and wise, you make my spirit whole

You remember the small things, every detail of me

You’re exactly the man that I need you to be

Yeah, you're exactly the man that I need you to be

We grew up together, through the laughter and tears

You showed me a love so far beyond your years

And that secret message, the promise we keep

Means I love you forever, unconditional and deep

From back in the day to the rest of our lives

I can't wait to be the one that you call your wife

Oh, Douglass, my fiancé, my heart and my soul

You're so funny and wise, you make my spirit whole

You remember the small things, every detail of me

You’re exactly the man that I need you to be

My forever, my Douglass, you're all that I need
