Butch

A mutual friend introduced us, and we fell right from the start

I needed someone patient to heal a quiet heart

You took me out on highways that I had only dreamed

Seeing places I had never been, where the horizon gleamed

For two years we were traveling, just taking in the view

And step by step I learned to feel what love was, thanks to you

Oh, Butch, you are the blessing that I never could have planned

Always caring, always kind, with a gentle, helping hand

You put our kids and grandkids first, you give them all you've got

I know God brought us together to tie this sacred knot

For over forty years of life, so beautiful and true

I thank the Lord in heaven that He sent me you

By the third year we were best friends, we knew we'd become one

Two hearts completely certain that our searching days were done

Now I watch the way you live your life, answering the call

If anybody needs some help, you're there to give your all

You're the rock for all our family, a steady, guiding light

And every time I look at you, I know that God was right

Oh, Butch, you are the blessing that I never could have planned

Always caring, always kind, with a gentle, helping hand

You put our kids and grandkids first, you give them all you've got

I know God brought us together to tie this sacred knot

For over forty years of life, so beautiful and true

I thank the Lord in heaven that He sent me you

It’s important that you know just how deeply I love you

And always remember the Lord is why we made it through

This beautiful and blessed life wasn’t just a stroke of luck

It was the hand of God Himself that filled our loving cup

Oh, Butch, you are the blessing that I never could have planned

Always caring, always kind, with a gentle, helping hand

You put our kids and grandkids first, you give them all you've got

I know God brought us together to tie this sacred knot

For over forty years of love, so beautiful and true

I'll always thank the Lord above, because He sent me you
