I still remember that very first date
Back in two thousand and nine
I didn't know I was looking at fate
When your eyes first looked into mine
I never would have guessed back then
Where this beautiful road would lead
But you became my husband and friend
And everything I'd ever need
ChorusOh Keith, your strength and your honest heart
Are the reasons I love you so
We're facing a battle we didn't expect
But there's one thing I surely know
With your caring soul and that gentle smile
And God right here by our side
We're gonna make it through the dark
Together on this ride
Verse 2Two thousand fourteen, we stood at the altar
And promised to love and to hold
Every good time I've shared with you, Keith
Is a memory better than gold
You've always been so steady and true
The most honest man I have known
And no matter what we are walking through
We are never walking alone
ChorusOh Keith, your strength and your honest heart
Are the reasons I love you so
We're facing a battle we didn't expect
But there's one thing I surely know
With your caring soul and that gentle smile
And God right here by our side
We're gonna make it through the dark
Together on this ride
BridgeThere are still so many good times to come
When these heavy clouds finally part
I love you, Keith, more than words can say
You will always hold my heart
Love always, Mary, through the joy and the tears
We've got faith to carry us on
Final ChorusOh Keith, your strength and your honest heart
Are the reasons I love you so
We're facing a battle we didn't expect
But there's one thing I surely know
With your caring soul and that gentle smile
And God right here by our side
We're gonna make it through it all
Forever on this ride
