Carol

We were together long before we tied the knot

Scraping by on every single dime we got

It was hard to make ends meet when we began

But we stayed strong and walked it hand in hand

Fifty-four years since you became my wife

The beautiful center of my whole life

Carol, you're the beauty and the strength in my life

My loyal companion, my compassionate wife

We built this love from a hard-working seed

And looking at you now, you're all I ever need

Yeah, you are all I need

We raised two boys and a baby girl

Our little family against the world

Now they live miles away in different states

But we're never alone when we're face to face

Here in our golden years, we're on our own

But this healthy partnership keeps us going strong

Carol, you're the beauty and the strength in my life

My loyal companion, my compassionate wife

We built this love from a hard-working seed

And looking at you now, you're all I ever need

Yeah, you are all I need

You always take the time to bridge the miles

To make sure that the grandkids feel your smile

You let our children know how much we care

A reliable mother who is always there

Still funny, still passionate, so beautiful and true

I'm so lucky to be growing older with you

Carol, you're the beauty and the strength in my life

My loyal companion, my compassionate wife

Fifty-four years from that hard-working seed

And looking at you now, you're all I ever need

In these golden years, you're all I ever need

Carol, you are all I need
