Leo

Take me back to your brother's cookout

The very first time that we locked eyes

I knew you were my husband, there was no doubt

A beautiful love that took me by surprise

Three years later, sharing a plate

At that East African restaurant, sealing our fate

You asked the question, you gave me the ring

And changed every melody my heart could sing

Oh Leo, you've got a heart of gold

Your smile warms my heart, your laughter lights my soul

Thank you for the best twenty-five years

Of building this life and keeping me near

God bless the day I found you, my man

I’ll love you as long as I possibly can

I see you waking up in the early morning light

Stepping out the door in the freezing cold

Or working through the heat when the sun is bright

Just to keep our family safe and whole

I want you to know as you grind every day

You carry my heart wherever you go

Protecting, providing in every single way

I just had to stop and let you know

Oh Leo, you've got a heart of gold

Your smile warms my heart, your laughter lights my soul

Thank you for the best twenty-five years

Of building this life and keeping me near

God bless the day I found you, my man

I’ll love you as long as I possibly can

Whenever I look at you and say "smooches"

You smile right back and you tell me "too youches"

"I love you today," the sweetest words spoken

A promise between us that never gets broken

We've done twenty-five, but baby we're not done

I'm looking forward to fifty more around the sun

Oh Leo, you've got a heart of gold

Your smile warms my heart, your laughter lights my soul

Thank you for the best twenty-five years

I'm looking at you through these happy tears

God bless the day I found you, my love

My husband, my forever, my blessing from above
