Mouse

We met decades ago, when our story began

Had a beautiful daughter, but life changed our plan

We drifted apart right before she was born

And walked separate roads through the rain and the storm

But my love never wandered, it stayed safe and true

Just waiting for the years to lead me back to you

Oh Mouse, you're the soulmate I was destined to find

I swear when God made you, He had me in mind

You're the one who makes me smile, I'm the one who makes you laugh

Walking side by side on this beautiful path

I love you beyond reason, in this world and the next

I'll spend all eternity giving you my best

The decades slipped by till we started talking once more

Right before my open-heart surgery, you walked through the door

Through the fear and the healing, you were there every step

With the kindest, most patient heart I’ve ever met

I see how you care for your grandkids and kids

You'd give them the world, that's just the love that you give

Oh Mouse, you're the soulmate I was destined to find

I swear when God made you, He had me in mind

You're the one who makes me smile, I'm the one who makes you laugh

Walking side by side on this beautiful path

I love you beyond reason, in this world and the next

I'll spend all eternity giving you my best

Last year in Medora, Teddy Roosevelt Park

A week of just laughing and lighting the dark

Just you and me having fun, wild and free

Knowing we're exactly where we're supposed to be

And when my time finally comes and I draw my last breath

I will die loving you, long after my death

Oh Mouse, you're the soulmate I was destined to find

I swear when God made you, He had me in mind

You're the one who makes me smile, I'm the one who makes you laugh

We were meant for each other, the perfect second half

There is nothing in this universe that could change how I feel

I will love you forever, beyond reason, and real
