Don

[Verse 1]
Eight years ago, two strangers came
Both carrying a quiet pain
Two broken hearts that couldn't heal,
Not knowing love could feel this real.
Then somewhere in the tears and rain,
A gentle hand reached out again.

[Chorus]
And oh, the way you love me,
Like a slow song we both know.
He is my dance partner,
Holding steady, taking it slow.
Through the years, through every storm,
You keep me safe, you keep me warm.

[Verse 2]
You mended what the world had bruised,
You showed me kindness, gave me truth.
Don, you took my trembling hand,
And helped this heart of mine to stand.
On your birthday, here's my vow,
I love you more, even now.

[Chorus]
And oh, the way you love me,
Like a slow song we both know.
He is my dance partner,
Holding steady, taking it slow.
Through the years, through every storm,
You keep me safe, you keep me warm.

[Bridge]
My proudest thing I'll ever say —
Don loves me, come what may.
That's the peace I've come to know,
The joy that grows and grows.

[Verse 3]
So let's keep dancing, you and me,
'Til we are 85 and free.
Still swaying in the kitchen light,
Still stealing kisses every night.
Comfort found, devotion true,
There's no one else, just me and you.

[Chorus]
And oh, the way you love me,
Like a slow song we both know.
Don, my faithful dance partner,
Holding steady, taking it slow.
Through the years, through every storm,
You keep me safe, you keep me warm.

[Outro]
Happy birthday, love of mine,
My dance partner through all time.
The way you love me — that's my song,
And in your arms is where I belong.
