Lyrics

Nostalgia hit me as I recall the day I knew that I loved you
You passed me by on a starry night
How could I forget? You were stunning
A vision of perfection
Heaven's very essence
That you were a shining star to me
The way you smiled was a work of art
You wouldn't believe how it thrilled me
We used to talk on the phone till 3:00
It made my mother so angry
And when we shared our first dance
Underneath the moon and starlit sky
I knew that you were mine
I figured after all this time and all these years together
All the memories made, that you would be tired by now
It should've grown dull or stagnant
But with each passing day
There's never a moment I regret saying, "Hello, miss"
"How you doin'? I would like to know you"
You brushed me off immediately, gave me the coldest shoulder I've ever received
Which made me want to get to know you even more
That's when I ran into you at the bookstore
Your hair pinned back while listening to music
I said, "Fats, make your move now, before it's too late"
"Don't let her get away, be brave"
And then I said, "Darlin', if you'll just give me a chance"
"I'll treat you like a queen, my whole world is yours"
That was fifty years ago today, despite the ups and downs
I wouldn't change a thing
It's hard to think of my life without you
I don't think I'd make it
You're my anchor through every storm that's ever come my way
And I'm not just talkin', I mean what I say
If you don't believe me, I'll just have to spend the rest of my entire life
Showing how much you mean to me
I'll sing, I'll dance, I'll shout it from the highest mountaintop
All this to say that
I'm still so in love with you
Nostalgia hit me as I recall the day I knew that I loved you
And now the feelings are just as strong
As when I first laid eyes on you
A vision of perfection
Heaven's very essence
I believe you're all I'll ever need
Long as I live, I'll love you for all eternity
And I'm so glad you chose me
