Emily

It was nineteen ninety-six when my whole life changed

I saw those tight dark curls and my heart was rearranged

You flashed that gorgeous smile, looked at me with those eyes

I saw a beautiful soul that took me by surprise

You've got the absolute best personality I've ever known

And the deepest, truest love that I've ever been shown

Emily, I love you more now than the day we met

It's a truth inside my heart that I could never forget

I know I ain't perfect, I know I have failed

But I work hard every day to keep this life on the rails

To be the best husband I know how to be

Baby, I love you so much, and God gave you to me

December twenty-third, two thousand and two

I stood there at the altar and gave my life to you

Then July twenty-eighth, two thousand and three

Our little boy was born, and you built this family

You've got a heart that is huge, the best wife a man could ask for

Every morning I wake up, I just love you more

Emily, I love you more now than the day we met

It's a truth inside my heart that I could never forget

I know I ain't perfect, I know I have failed

But I work hard every day to keep this life on the rails

To be the best husband I know how to be

Baby, I love you so much, and God gave you to me

Through the passing of the years, one thing is always true

I'm a better man today just by standing next to you

I'm putting in the effort, I'm giving it my all

To be the one you lean on whenever you might fall

'Cause Emily, I love you more now than the day we met

It's a truth inside my heart that I could never forget

I know I ain't perfect, I know I have failed

But I work hard every day to keep this life on the rails

To be the best husband I know how to be

Baby, I love you so much, and God gave you to me

Yeah, I love you so much, and God gave you to me
