Matthew

I still remember the day we said "I do"

Thirty-nine years, but the feeling's brand new

Looking in your eyes, making that vow

I loved you back then, but I need you more now

Every birthday candle, every holiday glow

You’ve been the steady rhythm in my soul

Through the quiet moments and the crowded rooms

My heart still beats just for you

Oh, Matthew, through the ups and the downs

There is nobody else I'd want around

Thirty-nine years of a life we designed

I wouldn't trade a single second of this ride

You're a beautiful husband, my closest friend

I'd choose you all over again

So let's hold on tight to the years left behind

And baby, here's to another thirty-nine

I remember the room every time a child arrived

Seven little miracles, tears in our eyes

I watched you be a father, so gentle and strong

Making sure they always knew where they belong

Now you're a granddad, still making us smile

Always joking around in that classic Matthew style

You keep the house warm, you keep the joy loud

I look at the family we built, and I'm so proud

Oh, Matthew, through the ups and the downs

There is nobody else I'd want around

Thirty-nine years of a life we designed

I wouldn't trade a single second of this ride

You're a beautiful husband, my closest friend

I'd choose you all over again

So let's hold on tight to the years left behind

And baby, here's to another thirty-nine

We've weathered the storms and we've walked in the sun

When the day is over and the hard work is done

There is no other hand that I want in my own

With you by my side, I am always at home

I love you, Matthew, more than words can say

Oh, Matthew, through the ups and the downs

There is nobody else I'd want around

Thirty-nine years of a life we designed

I wouldn't trade a single second of this ride

You're a beautiful husband, my closest friend

I'd choose you all over again

So let's hold on tight to the years left behind

And baby, here's to another thirty-nine

Yeah, I love you, Matthew... here's to another thirty-nine
