We were only just kids when our story began
Then a whole lifetime passed before I held your hand
Reunited in our forties, the timing was right
You stepped out of the shadows and brought back my light
My partner in crime, after all of these years
You gave me my life back and dried up my tears
ChorusOh Doug, you're the reason I'm smiling again
You brought back my joy, my love, and my friend
When you look in my eyes, I'm the only one around
Thank you for the beautiful meaning we've found
You gave me my life back, you gave me my spark
My sweet partner in crime, lighting up the dark
Verse 2You've got a quiet, honest spirit, so patient and sweet
Just the sound of your voice makes my world feel complete
I thought I was done, that my heart was just closed
But you still make me blush, and it beautifully shows
So tender and loving, you steady my soul
You took my tired spirit and made it feel whole
ChorusOh Doug, you're the reason I'm smiling again
You brought back my joy, my love, and my friend
When you look in my eyes, I'm the only one around
Thank you for the beautiful meaning we've found
You gave me my life back, you gave me my spark
My sweet partner in crime, lighting up the dark
BridgeIt took a whole lifetime to get to this place
But I'd wait through it all just to look in your face
Thank you for showing me what love really means
This is a reality better than all of my dreams
Final ChorusOh Doug, you're the reason I'm smiling again
You brought back my joy, my love, and my friend
When you look in my eyes, I'm the only one around
Thank you for the beautiful meaning we've found
You gave me my life back, you gave me my spark
My sweet partner in crime, forever in my heart
