DOUG

I was only fifteen when we first met

That sweet smile of yours, I could never forget

We were just kids at the start of the ride

But you left a feeling I carried inside

We didn't know then where the journey would lead

Or the beautiful way that our story would read

Oh, Doug, you're my best friend, my soulmate, my home

The most patient and loving man I've ever known

God wrote our story, He knew what it was for

And every single day, I just love you more

Yeah, we took the long way, but finally we see

We were always meant to be

Twenty-five years going our separate ways

Living out different lives, different days

But heaven was working on a perfect design

To bring your hand right back into mine

After all of this time, you're still lighting the dark

With the very same smile that captured my heart

Oh, Doug, you're my best friend, my soulmate, my home

The most patient and loving man I've ever known

God wrote our story, He knew what it was for

And every single day, I just love you more

Yeah, we took the long way, but finally we see

We were always meant to be

You're caring and giving, romantic and true

I count all my blessings when I look at you

Through the time and the distance, the wait and the tears

To be here as your wife, it was worth all the years

'Cause Doug, you're my best friend, my soulmate, my home

The most patient and loving man I've ever known

God brought us together, He opened the door

And I promise you this, Doug, I love you more

Yeah, we took the long way, but finally we see

We were always meant to be

Forever and always, I love you more
