It started in a little dive bar, neon shining on your face
You made me laugh and suddenly, I loved that quiet place
Seventeen years have come and gone since you walked through that door
But those beautiful blue eyes still melt my heart right to the core
ChorusOh, Cliff, I couldn't do this life without you by my side
You're my best friend and my soulmate on this crazy ride
You keep me safe, you hold me close, you love me through and through
To be loved by you is everything, my heart belongs to you
Verse 2I think about those all-night fishing trips out on the quiet lake
Just sitting in the dark with you, the memories we make
Or those long drives to the casino, talking in the fading light
Getting the game plan ready, which machine to play first tonight
ChorusOh, Cliff, I couldn't do this life without you by my side
You're my best friend and my soulmate on this crazy ride
You keep me safe, you hold me close, you love me through and through
To be loved by you is everything, my heart belongs to you
BridgeI know I drive you crazy sometimes, I can be a lot to take
But the way you take good care of me is a promise you don't break
You're funny and protective, and appreciated beyond measure
Seeing that smile on your face makes every moment better
Final ChorusOh, Cliff, I couldn't do this life without you by my side
You're my best friend and my soulmate on this crazy ride
You keep me safe, you hold me close, you love me through and through
To be loved by you is everything, my heart belongs to you
Yeah, seventeen years of loving you, and my heart belongs to you
