Ted

We'd put a record on and let the music play

You in the kitchen cooking, washing my cares away

Such a strong man, but you had a gentle touch

Just being in your company, baby, meant so much

Didn't need a crowded room or a fancy night

Just you and me, our dinner, and the fading light

Thirty-two years wasn't long enough, Ted

I've loved you since day one, just like I said

My love only grew deeper with every passing day

Now I'm devastated that you had to slip away

How do I walk this world without you by my side?

You were my gracious love, my shelter, and my pride

I close my eyes and I can see that perfect smile

Oh God, those dimples, I could stare at them a while

We'd lay down in the evening, put a movie on the screen

Laughing at each other, the sweetest love I've seen

Wrapped up in your embrace, I always felt so safe

Now I'm holding onto memories that time can not erase

Thirty-two years wasn't long enough, Ted

I've loved you since day one, just like I said

My love only grew deeper with every passing day

Now I'm devastated that you had to slip away

How do I walk this world without you by my side?

You were my gracious love, my shelter, and my pride

I will carry you in my heart, deep down in my soul

Even though this empty space is taking its toll

I'm gonna keep your memory shining, baby, bright and true

Until it's my time to cross over and meet again with you

'Cause thirty-two years wasn't long enough, Ted

I've loved you since day one, just like I said

My love only grew deeper with every passing day

I'm devastated I have to live my life this way

But I'll carry you with me, my husband, my guide

Until I am back in your arms, right by your side
