We go back further than my memory can reach
Before we even had the words to speak
Two little babies laying side by side
Your mama smiled and said I'd be your bride
She put us in that bed and saw the truth
A lifelong promise starting in our youth
Now I'm looking at the man you grew to be
And I know that you were destined just for me
ChorusOh, Sammy, you're the rhythm of my heart
You've had a caring spirit right from the start
You're the patience when the world gets too loud
Protecting everyone and making me proud
My husband, my sanctuary, my best friend
I'll love you from the cradle to the end
Verse 2It's in the careful little things you do
That show me all the deepest parts of you
You walk the store and you take your time
Searching for a fragrance that is perfectly mine
You pick my perfume just to see me smile
Always stepping up to go the extra mile
It's the sweet attention that you always show
Watering this love and watching it grow
ChorusOh, Sammy, you're the rhythm of my heart
You've had a caring spirit right from the start
You're the patience when the world gets too loud
Protecting everyone and making me proud
My husband, my sanctuary, my best friend
I'll love you from the cradle to the end
BridgeYour patience runs deeper than the ocean floor
Every single day I just love you more
You guard the ones you love, you stand so tall
Catching every piece of me before I fall
Your mama knew exactly what she'd see
When she laid you down right next to me
Final ChorusOh, Sammy, you're the rhythm of my heart
You've had a caring spirit right from the start
You're the patience when the world gets too loud
Protecting everyone and making me proud
My husband, my sanctuary, my best friend
I'll love you from the cradle to the end
