Ashley

Ashley, your huge heart always bleeds

For every stray animal out in need

You're the strongest soul I've ever known

Faithful down to the very bone

I know my name is safe with you

When I'm not in the room, you speak the truth

You love right down to the bitter end

I'm so lucky to call you my friend

First Corinthians thirteen, four through seven

That’s the kind of friendship sent from heaven

Meeting you was never an accident

It was God showing us what a true friend meant

He knew we needed each other to lean on

To keep us standing when our strength is gone

Yeah, you hold me up when the world gets heavy

I’m standing strong because I have you, Ashley

My favorite moments are the simple days

Just sitting with you while the afternoon fades

No matter what we're doing or where we start

Just being with you brings a lighter heart

Remember those cupcakes we tried to bake?

We didn't have everything we needed to make

But they turned out beautiful, sweet and fine

Just like this crazy, perfect friendship of mine

First Corinthians thirteen, four through seven

That’s the kind of friendship sent from heaven

Meeting you was never an accident

It was God showing us what a true friend meant

He knew we needed each other to lean on

To keep us standing when our strength is gone

Yeah, you hold me up when the world gets heavy

I’m standing strong because I have you, Ashley

Patient and kind, yeah, that's what the verse says

You live it out in a million little ways

We strengthen ourselves by holding the line

As long as you're standing, I'm doing just fine

First Corinthians thirteen, four through seven

That’s the kind of friendship sent from heaven

Meeting you was never an accident

It was God showing us what a true friend meant

He knew we needed each other to lean on

To keep us standing when our strength is gone

Through the thick and the thin, you're good for my soul

I love you so much, you beautiful butthole!
