Clem

We met right there in church, beneath the sanctuary light

You would joke and tease me daily, always making my heart bright

Then we'd head out from the service, just to grab a bite to eat

I didn't know that simple dinner was the start of something sweet

Oh, Clem, you are a caring man, a loving, steady hand

You'll do whatever it takes to help out any way you can

For twenty years of marriage, you've treated me with grace

With honor and respect, I see the goodness in your face

And every single season, through the laughter and the tears

My love for you keeps growing so much stronger with the years

You're a rock for our foundation, so respectful and so kind

A more devoted husband would be hard for me to find

If there's a heavy burden, you are quick to take the weight

You lead our life with goodness, and you keep our pathways straight

Love, honor, and respect, that is the promise that we made

And you have lived it every day, in sunshine and in shade

The boy who used to tease me is the man I proudly hold

This twenty-year devotion is a love that won't grow old

Oh, Clem, you are a caring man, a loving, steady hand

You'll do whatever it takes to help out any way you can

For twenty years of marriage, you've treated me with grace

With honor and respect, I see the goodness in your face

And every single season, through the laughter and the tears

My love for you keeps growing so much stronger with the years
