And I'll never forget our beautiful, so perfect wedding,
I don't remember ever feeling as happy as I did on that day,
I will never forget the way you looked at me as you spoke,
your eyes said everything that you needed to say.
You're great with the kids and you care for us all,
and I know as children go, I am like the third,
but when you said "I do" on our wedding day,
well, they were the sweetest words I've ever heard.
And they say that patience is a virtue,
well, because of you I have become the virtuous one,
and your love has been my light, my inspiration,
in every way, your love has been like my morning sun.
You own a spa, massages, facials, make up,
personal training, you know, that sort of thing,
but there's something missing in your life,
even though you're wearing that wedding ring.
We've been apart since our wedding,
a cold wintry morning on (DATE)
but it's only our jobs and circumstance that could separate us,
because only with you, my world's a better place to be.
So I just wanted to say thank you,
in truth, I'd like to thank you for everything you've ever done,
your love has been my light, my inspiration,
in every way, you've been like my morning sun.
You love those old black and white movies,
and from Cleveland, you've travelled afar,
and I think our wedding song was simply perfect,
because you are loved: "Just the way you are"
As soon as we met we hit it off,
and instantly, I knew you were the one,
and ever since, your love has been my light, my inspiration,
in every way, you've been like my morning sun.
And what is that snow in your hair?
I bet you love those little white flakes.
Want to get rid of your dandruff?
Staying off the grog is all that it takes.
Because I think of you practically ever hour,
and I hope you get over this real soon,
because Dad, to me, you?re my everything,
you?re my sky, my sun, my stars, my moon.
I loved that dress so much I wanted to wear it everyday,
even if it had a stain on it just below the chin,
I had a very strong nature with my own ideas,
my mother was exasperated, because she knew I'd win.
And we?ll never forget those two torturous days,
I think the Watermelon Wagon was ahead of it?s time,
we remember begging you to pick us up from Surf Beach,
but you still managed to put reason in our rhyme.
Every time you?d pick me up from school in that Renault,
well, it made me appreciate everything you?ve done,
because your love has been my light, my inspiration,
in every way, you?ve been like my morning sun.
You're always been a great support when I need you,
you've helped me face my dragons (and we've won),
your love has been my inspiration, my light,
in every way, you've been like my morning sun.
I remember when you used to take me shopping,
and I used to get anything that my little heart desired,
you once bought me a very purple (you called it Mauve) dress,
I was about 5 years old (and of that dress, I never grew tired).
We also know that you like your shopping,
although it can be difficult to find the right dress,
but we also know that persistence always pays off,
and that's why you've filled our lives with such happiness.
