Pamela

I still remember that fourth-grade smile

You were my first girl for a little while

Then the years went by till I saw you lookin' back at me

Hidden in the aisles of the high school library

We tied the knot when we were just kids

They said it wouldn't last, but it always did

We outlasted the doubters with every passing year

And built a beautiful life right here

Oh, Pamela, my forever love

You're the strong, protective woman I'm dreaming of

So sweet and compassionate, my guiding light

You make me laugh when the world ain't right

Through the joy and the tears we've had to weather

I know that our family is forever

I think about those peaceful Temple days

Building our home in a thousand little ways

Three beautiful girls and one wonderful son

But heaven called him back before his time was done

It broke our hearts, but you held us tight

A mother's tender grace in the darkest night

Your loving kindness pulled us through the pain

And helped us find the sunshine in the rain

Oh, Pamela, my forever love

You're the strong, protective woman I'm dreaming of

So sweet and compassionate, my guiding light

You make me laugh when the world ain't right

Through the joy and the tears we've had to weather

I know that our family is forever

Now there are grandkids running round the floor

And I just keep on loving you more and more

When my spirit gets heavy and I just can't smile

You sit right beside me and you stay a while

You're the gentle glue that holds this house in place

With a quiet kind of strength and a saving grace

Let the whole world spin, we've already won

Just look at the beautiful things we've done

From a childhood crush to a lifelong vow

I was in love with you then, I'm in love with you now

Every single morning I thank the Lord above

For giving me you, my forever love

Oh, Pamela, my forever love

You're the strong, protective woman I'm dreaming of

So sweet and compassionate, my guiding light

You make me laugh when the world ain't right

Through the joy and the tears we've had to weather

I know that our family is forever

Yes, I know that our family is forever
