Still My Best Friend, Still My Flame

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two kids on a summer road, Sharing dreams we barely knew, Best friends laughing in the sun, Not knowing what would come. Then somewhere the friendship turned, And a deeper fire burned. [Chorus] Oh, you're the light that leads me home, Wherever this old life may roam, Through every mile and every year, You're the reason I am here. Still my best friend, still my flame, Forever grateful for your name. [Verse 2] At nineteen we said "I do," Just a boy in love with you, Shante, you took my hand, Built a family, made our plans. Through the moves and lonely nights, You held the home and kept the light. [Chorus] Oh, you're the light that leads me home, Wherever this old life may roam, Through every mile and every year, You're the reason I am here. Still my best friend, still my flame, Forever grateful for your name. [Bridge] Shante, that smile lights up the room, Chases every shade of gloom. You work so hard, you never rest, Our peacekeeper, our very best. [Verse 3] Three little hearts that carry you, In everything they say and do, Always learning, brave and free, You make a better man of me. Adventurer, my steady ground, The greatest love I ever found. [Chorus] Oh, you're the light that leads me home, Wherever this old life may roam, Through every mile and every year, You're the reason I am here. Still my best friend, still my flame, Shante, I'll always bless your name. [Outro] So here's to us, and all the years, The joy, the strength, the happy tears. My wife, my friend, my everything, Forever yours, I'll always sing.
