Ray

From the very first date, I was already hooked

I knew what I wanted from the moment I looked

I stayed by your side and I never once left

I gave you my heart and I gave you my best

You had this sweet way of making me smile

I knew I was staying for more than a while

Oh, Ray, with your heart of gold

The most beautiful story I’ll ever unfold

I still hear the words that you whispered that day

"I think I might love you," in your sweet, gentle way

Now I’ll carry you with me, whatever I do

I will forever love and dearly miss you

I picture you out there, under the sky

Always outside working as the hours go by

A smile on your face and a joke on your lips

You always knew how to make my heart skip

You built up a life that was steady and bright

And you were my sunshine, my everyday light

Oh, Ray, with your heart of gold

The most beautiful story I’ll ever unfold

I still hear the words that you whispered that day

"I think I might love you," in your sweet, gentle way

Now I’ll carry you with me, whatever I do

I will forever love and dearly miss you

Eleven years together, a beautiful run

Two lives woven tightly, shining like the sun

It’s hard to step forward when you're not around

But in all of my memories, your spirit is found

I hold onto the laughter and the love that we made

A bond this deep is never going to fade

My Ray, with your heart of gold

The most beautiful story I’ll ever unfold

I still hear the words that you whispered that day

"I think I might love you," in your sweet, gentle way

I'll carry you in my heart, my whole life through

I will forever love and dearly miss you
