Karen

Nineteen years ago, a message on a screen

Led me to the sweetest love that I had ever seen

The very first time we met, the moment I saw you

I fell into those beautiful eyes, and right away I knew

From that second on, my wandering heart was home

Karen, I was meant to make you mine and mine alone

You're patient and you're kind, you lift up everyone you meet

You treat the world with respect and make my life complete

I thank the Lord above that He brought you to my side

My one and only woman, my compass and my guide

Forever and ever, I will give you all my heart

I knew it from those beautiful eyes right from the start

We made our way to New Orleans, walking hand in hand

Then we took our very first cruise, sailing from the land

Now we're packing up again, got another ship to catch

For making golden memories, we've always been a match

Out there on the ocean, looking at the blue

I fall in love again with every little thing you do

You're patient and you're kind, you lift up everyone you meet

You treat the world with respect and make my life complete

I thank the Lord above that He brought you to my side

My one and only woman, my compass and my guide

Forever and ever, I will give you all my heart

I knew it from those beautiful eyes right from the start

I know I haven't always treated you exactly right

I've caused my share of shadows when I should have been your light

But you showed me forgiveness, and your love has stayed so true

I pray the next eighteen years are even better for us two

'Cause you're patient and you're kind, you lift up everyone you meet

You treat the world with respect and make my life complete

I thank the Lord above that He brought you to my side

Karen, you're my one and only, my compass and my guide

Forever and ever, I will give you all my heart

I knew it from those beautiful eyes right from the start
