Lonnie

It was a hot summer day at a park on Sleven Street

We were only teenagers, but my heart skipped a beat

I knew right in that moment I would love you all my days

Even when we grew up and went our separate ways

Life took us down different roads with children of our own

But a few years later, my heart finally found its home

We found our way back to each other, like we were meant to do

And Lonnie, every day since then, I'm glad I came back to you

You're my rock, you're my king, my whole world, my everything

Twenty-five years together, seventeen with this wedding ring

You're a hard worker, wise and funny, the only man for me

And I will love you past my last breath, into eternity

Yeah, my heart belongs to you, Lonnie

We took our two families and we blended them into one

You raised my four daughters with a love second to none

When Christen gained her angel wings and left this earthly place

You stood right by my side and wiped the tears right off my face

It’s the little things you do that always make me smile

When it comes to showing love, you go the extra mile

Like driving eight hours for Nana's banana pudding just for me

You're the greatest blessing that I could ever see

You're my rock, you're my king, my whole world, my everything

Twenty-five years together, seventeen with this wedding ring

You're a hard worker, wise and funny, the only man for me

And I will love you past my last breath, into eternity

Yeah, my heart belongs to you, Lonnie

Now the house is full of laughter, four boys and three sweet girls

They all call you Pip, and you're the center of their world

From that little park on Sleven Street to the gray that's in our hair

There is no one else I'd rather have beside me in this rocking chair

'Cause you're my rock, you're my king, my whole world, my everything

Twenty-five years together, seventeen with this wedding ring

You're a hard worker, wise and funny, the only man for me

And I will love you past my last breath, into eternity

Just always remember, you're the only one I need

I'll love you forever, Lonnie, wherever this life leads
