We were just kids walking down those junior high halls
Didn't know a teenage crush would catch us as we fall
I still remember the spark in your eyes back then
Before you were my husband, you were my closest friend
Forty-two years of waking up by your side
Through the highs and the lows, we just let the love ride
ChorusCalvin, you are the love of my life
Every single day I'm grateful to be your wife
You'd move mountains for this family, give all that you can
A tender heart inside a hardworking man
Yeah, you keep us laughing when the times get tough
Forty-two years, and I still can't get enough
Verse 2You've got a word for a stranger, a friend to everyone
Putting in the heavy hours till the day is done
But you never let the hustle take away your spark
You just crack a little joke and light up the dark
You carry our world in your gentle embrace
Always putting that smile right back on my face
ChorusCalvin, you are the love of my life
Every single day I'm grateful to be your wife
You'd move mountains for this family, give all that you can
A tender heart inside a hardworking man
Yeah, you keep us laughing when the times get tough
Forty-two years, and I still can't get enough
BridgeTime moves so fast, but our roots run deep
Every promise we made is a promise we keep
From a boy in the schoolyard to the man of my dreams
We built a whole world out of teenage schemes
I'd do it all over, every laugh, every tear
As long as I have you right here
Final Chorus'Cause Calvin, you are the love of my life
Every single day I'm grateful to be your wife
You'd move mountains for this family, give all that you can
A tender heart inside a hardworking man
Yeah, you keep us laughing when the times get tough
Forty-two years, and I still can't get enough
Calvin, forever, you're the love of my life
