Thinking back to where it started
Across the table, open-hearted
Olive Garden on that very first date
I didn't know you'd be my favorite escape
Now we're curled up on the sofa late at night
Action movies playing in the TV light
Or laughing till we cry at comedies
You always know just how to put my soul at ease
ChorusOh, Jerry, you're a rare kind of man
Caring and loving, holding my hand
A beautiful father, so faithful and true
I count all my blessings just knowing you
And I look at this bond, built on trust
And I wonder what your mother said about us
Verse 2I see the way you give your heart away
Being the rock for your kids every day
Itβs in the gentle little things you do
That show me the beautiful truth of you
You never waver, you always stay strong
A faithful friend where I know I belong
From the dinner dates to the big screen glow
You're the sweetest soul I'll ever know
ChorusOh, Jerry, you're a rare kind of man
Caring and loving, holding my hand
A beautiful father, so faithful and true
I count all my blessings just knowing you
And I look at this bond, built on trust
And I wonder what your mother said about us
BridgeI sometimes wonder when she looks in your eyes
Does she see the way you changed my life?
Did she tell you to hold on, did she see the spark?
When you brought my name into the dark
I hope she knows the man you grew up to be
And I wonder what she told you about me
Final ChorusOh, Jerry, you're a rare kind of man
Caring and loving, holding my hand
A beautiful father, so faithful and true
I count all my blessings just knowing you
Yeah, I look at this bond, built on trust
And I wonder what your mother said about us
I wonder what she said about us
