Brian

I still see you standing at the end of the hall

Back in middle school, just a good-looking boy

Fifty years together, we made it through it all

Through the stubborn moments and the quiet joy

You were persistent right from the start

Never gave up until you captured my heart

Now I look back at the life that we made

And I wouldn't trade a single day

Oh, Brian, you're truly one of a kind

The rarest soul that I could ever find

From the snowmobile trails to the pontoon breeze

You're the center of all my favorite memories

Over fifty years of love, and we're still going strong

Right here by your side is where I belong

I look at our boys and the men they've become

Successful and steady, great husbands and dads

They learned how to lead from the work you have done

Coaching their sports through the good and the bad

Now you're out on the field coaching the littles

I watch their faces light up when you're near

Papa Dumper, you're the man in the middle

Giving them moments they'll always hold dear

Oh, Brian, you're truly one of a kind

The rarest soul that I could ever find

From the snowmobile trails to the pontoon breeze

You're the center of all my favorite memories

Over fifty years of love, and we're still going strong

Right here by your side is where I belong

I know I'm strong-willed, and I apologize

But you know how to put me right back in my place

I love when you give the daughters a hard time

And they give it right back with a smile on their face

It's the laughter we share, it's the family we built

A beautiful life that is perfectly filled

I still laugh when I think of the snowmobile track

When you dropped me right off of the back of the sled

Now we sit on the pontoon and we just kick back

With the sun going down and the water ahead

You're stubborn, you're handsome, my favorite man

Holding my heart right here in your hands

Oh, Brian, you're truly one of a kind

The rarest soul that I could ever find

From the snowmobile trails to the pontoon breeze

You're the center of all my favorite memories

Over fifty years of love, and we're still going strong

Right here by your side is where I belong
