I still smile when I think about the way it all began
The day our kids introduced me to this handsome, working man
You didn't have to take the reins, but you stepped right in the frame
A step-up dad who gave his all and loved us just the same
You work so hard from the morning sun until the day is through
And every time I look at you, I know my dreams came true
ChorusDavid, I love you with every beat of my heart
I want to spend the rest of my life right here where you are
In my mind, in my soul, and in my heart together
I'm gonna stand by your side, always and forever
With my arms wrapped around you, I swear to God above
I will keep your heart secured and loved
Verse 2When the house goes quiet and we finally get some time
I trace the shadows in the dark and thank God that you're mine
Those alone nights together, wrapped in extreme intimacy
You're a sweet and gentle lover, giving all your soul to me
So strong out in the world, but so tender in the night
You make everything that's heavy feel so easy and so light
ChorusDavid, I love you with every beat of my heart
I want to spend the rest of my life right here where you are
In my mind, in my soul, and in my heart together
I'm gonna stand by your side, always and forever
With my arms wrapped around you, I swear to God above
I will keep your heart secured and loved
BridgeI appreciate you, baby, in every single way
For the man you are tomorrow, and the man you are today
You are everything I needed, my partner and my friend
And I'll be holding onto you until the very end
Final Chorus'Cause David, I love you with every beat of my heart
I want to spend the rest of my life right here where you are
In my mind, in my soul, and in my heart together
I'm gonna stand by your side, always and forever
With my arms wrapped around you, I swear to God above
I will keep your heart secured and loved
Yeah, I will keep your heart secured and loved
