Pete

You don't need a crowd to make me smile

You've got an unconventional, funny style

We walked through the fire, we weathered the rain

Held onto each other through the struggles and pain

You're a quiet man with a creative mind

The most caring soul I could ever find

You show your love in a different way

In the gentle things you do, not just what you say

When my body is weak and the illness takes hold

You're the kindest hand that I could ever hold

Pete, you're my truest friend, my one great love

And a lifetime together is never enough

Now we're casting our lines out in the sun

Fishing and crabbing, just having our fun

We're in our older years, but the water's still blue

And I'm savoring every moment with you

You always gave me the grace and the space to grow

And rode with my crazy ideas, just going with the flow

You show your love in a different way

In the gentle things you do, not just what you say

When my body is weak and the illness takes hold

You're the kindest hand that I could ever hold

Pete, you're my truest friend, my one great love

And a lifetime together is never enough

Twenty-five years of building this life

Before you finally asked me to be your wife

Down on Ocean Drive, with the tide rolling in

I'd wait a quarter-century to do it again

I love you more than you could ever know

More than my simple words could ever show

'Cause you show your love in a different way

In the gentle things you do, not just what you say

When my body is weak and the illness takes hold

You're the kindest hand that I could ever hold

Pete, you're my truest friend, my one great love

And a lifetime together is never enough

No, a lifetime together is never enough
