Ray Anthony

Ramiro set us up when we were just kids

A blind date back then, I'm so glad that he did

I joked, "Did you think I'm the ugly sister?"

You laughed and said no, and my young heart just whispered

We looked in each other's eyes and I knew

Like I'd already lived a whole lifetime with you

I was only a teenager, young and naive

But I fell in love, wearing my heart on my sleeve

Ray Anthony, you're the air that I breathe

My rock and my soul, the only truth I believe

When I'm safe in your arms, all my worry just fades

You're the loving, strong shelter that Heaven has made

Time couldn't take what was meant by design

You've always been the one, and I'm so glad you're mine

I still think of that Hidden Valley drive

With my friend and your brother Andy by our side

We got stuck in the mud, you went walking for help

Left us scared in the truck, waiting all by ourselves

Then you came back with Egor to pull the truck free

We were covered in dirt, but you smiled right at me

It's a memory I carry, a spark from the past

A hint of a love that was destined to last

Ray Anthony, you're the air that I breathe

My rock and my soul, the only truth I believe

When I'm safe in your arms, all my worry just fades

You're the loving, strong shelter that Heaven has made

Time couldn't take what was meant by design

You've always been the one, and I'm so glad you're mine

We went our own ways, let the decades roll on

But my love for you, Ray, was never quite gone

Not time or the years ever took it away

God brought you right back to me, and you're here to stay

You pay such close attention, you still surprise me

You're strong and protective, you know me completely

Ray Anthony, you're the air that I breathe

My rock and my soul, the only truth I believe

When I'm safe in your arms, all my worry just fades

You're the loving, strong shelter that Heaven has made

I loved you back then, and I love you today

You've always been the one, but most of all, you're mine
