I still remember that very first night
Two nervous kids just hoping it goes right
I showed up wearing that bright yellow shirt
Hoping I wouldn't stumble on my words
But Ashley, you smiled and the pressure just fell
Right then and there, I was under your spell
You saw the boy who was trying his best
And gave me a love that stands every test
ChorusWe went from high school sweethearts to lifelong companions
A beautiful bond I could barely imagine
You're caring and loyal, a nurturing soul
Ashley, your empathy makes me whole
My gratitude is immeasurable, it's true
I'm devoting the rest of my life to you
Verse 2We built a home from the promises made
A quiet devotion that's never gonna fade
Now we've got a daughter we both adore
And watching you mother her makes me love you more
You’re so considerate, gentle, and kind
The sweetest example that she could ever find
She has your heart and your radiant light
And it all goes back to that blind date night
ChorusWe went from high school sweethearts to lifelong companions
A beautiful bond I could barely imagine
You're caring and loyal, a nurturing soul
Ashley, your empathy makes me whole
My gratitude is immeasurable, it's true
I'm devoting the rest of my life to you
BridgeEvery single morning I wake up by your side
I feel a deep devotion I could never hide
You listen, you comfort, you wipe away tears
You've been my safe haven for all of these years
I look at the life and the family we grew
And I just thank heaven that I found you
Final ChorusWe went from high school sweethearts to lifelong companions
A beautiful bond I could barely imagine
You're caring and loyal, a nurturing soul
Ashley, your empathy makes me whole
My gratitude is immeasurable, it's true
I'm devoting the rest of my life to you
Yeah, from that bright yellow shirt to the rest of my life
I'm so lucky to call you my wife
