You've got a quiet way of showing that you care
Whenever I need you, you're already there
A thoughtful, gentle man with a sentimental heart
I knew you were my forever right from the start
You took me to the zoo for my very first time
Watching the animals, your hand holding mine
ChorusMy life wouldn't be the same without you in it
I'd be lost in the dark, I'd be counting the minutes
My sentimental sweetheart, so steady and true
I'll spend the rest of my life loving you
James Richard, you're the anchor to my soul
You took my empty spaces and you made them whole
Verse 2We drove down to Gulf Shores, just the two of us
You didn't blink an eye, you didn't make a fuss
You knew I had to be my best friend's maid of honor
We made the trip together, looking out across the water
It's just the way you are, always putting my needs first
Loving me so well, for better or for worse
ChorusMy life wouldn't be the same without you in it
I'd be lost in the dark, I'd be counting the minutes
My sentimental sweetheart, so steady and true
I'll spend the rest of my life loving you
James Richard, you're the anchor to my soul
You took my empty spaces and you made them whole
BridgeYou lit the candles and you brought out the cake
For a memory I didn't think I'd ever make
The first birthday party I had since I was six
You showed me broken pieces are something you can fix
You gave me back the joy that I thought was gone for good
Loving me the way you always promised that you would
Verse 3Now every morning when I wake up by your side
I look at my husband with a tender kind of pride
It's in the way you hold me, the gentle things you do
I don't know who I'd be if I hadn't found you
Final ChorusMy life wouldn't be the same without you in it
I'd be lost in the dark, I'd be counting the minutes
My sentimental sweetheart, so steady and true
I'll spend the rest of my life loving you
James Richard, you're the anchor to my soul
You took my empty spaces and you made them whole
Yes, I'll spend the rest of my life loving you
