Chris

From the very first hello, you had the best of me

A spark that turned into a life I never could foresee

Sixteen years of waking up beside my closest friend

A love that just keeps growing on a road without an end

You wrap me in protection and you always keep me safe

Your arms are still my shelter, my favorite hiding place

Oh Chris, you are my number one, my partner through it all

My soulmate standing by my side to catch me if I fall

I love you for your passion and the way you hold me tight

But mostly I'm so grateful for your stubborn will to fight

Thank you for not giving up when all the odds were wrong

Thank you for staying here on earth with me, right where you belong

Hey there, Big Pimpin', you still make my spirit shine

I count my lucky stars each day to know that you are mine

I feel the way you value me in everything you do

A deep and quiet passion that always pulls us through

You never take for granted this life we share today

You appreciate the little things in such a gentle way

Oh Chris, you are my number one, my partner through it all

My soulmate standing by my side to catch me if I fall

I love you for your passion and the way you hold me tight

But mostly I'm so grateful for your stubborn will to fight

Thank you for not giving up when all the odds were wrong

Thank you for staying here on earth with me, right where you belong

I know the road got steep, I know the shadows got so long

But you dug your heels right in the dirt and proved that you were strong

You fought to keep your breath, you fought to keep our dream alive

You gave it everything you had just so we could survive

Oh Chris, you are my number one, my partner through it all

My soulmate standing by my side to catch me if I fall

I love you for your passion and the way you hold me tight

But mostly I'm so grateful for your stubborn will to fight

Thank you for not giving up when all the odds were wrong

Thank you for staying here on earth with me, right where you belong

Yeah, sixteen years from our hello, our love is going strong
