Deeper, Sweeter, Through It All

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a story that the years have told, Of a quiet kind of love that grows, From a friendship into something gold, The kind that only heaven knows. I knew it from the very start, One look, and I just lost my heart. [Chorus] Oh, my Mikey, my forever friend, The love that time will never end. You're the steady hand, the gentle light, The reason every day feels right. Forty years and I still fall, Deeper, sweeter, through it all. [Verse 2] Escapade, the music played that night, Frosty hair and eyes of brown and green, One glance across the dancing light, And I knew just what this love would mean. You called me cutie, held me close, And gave me everything I chose. [Chorus] Oh, my Mikey, my forever friend, The love that time will never end. You're the steady hand, the gentle light, The reason every day feels right. Forty years and I still fall, Deeper, sweeter, through it all. [Bridge] When I was broken, you stayed near, Months of patience, months of care, Never once a doubt or fear — Michael, you were always there. [Verse 3] You took my girl and made her yours, Lori and Madison, your golden two, And Dillon runs through Papa's doors, Eyes lighting up the moment he sees you. A legacy of laughter, grace, The kindness written on your face. [Chorus] Oh, my Mikey, my forever friend, The love that time will never end. You're the steady hand, the gentle light, The reason every day feels right. Thirty-eight years and still I fall, Deeper, sweeter, through it all. [Outro] My Michael, my forever, my home, The greatest love I've ever known.
