Bill

[Verse 1]
Nineteen sixty-eight, we were young and free,
Graduation parties, that's where you found me.
Catholic Central, summer in the air,
A boy with blue eyes and I stopped to stare.
Among a group of guys, I chose just you,
A couple of years, and I always knew.

[Chorus]
Look at us, we are meant to be together,
Fifty-five years and still holding on tight.
Through every season, every kind of weather,
You've been my morning, you've been my light.

[Verse 2]
You wore the navy blue for four long years,
Eleven months at sea, I fought the tears.
The Mediterranean took you far from home,
But love kept me steady, I was never alone.
Then Tracy in '73, then Buddy came in '81,
Philip William Gordon, our precious son.

[Chorus]
Look at us, we are meant to be together,
Fifty-five years and still holding on tight.
Through every season, every kind of weather,
You've been my morning, you've been my light.

[Bridge]
When the storm came and I grew weak,
You never left, you stayed by me.
You held my hand through the darkest night,
Oh Bill, my caretaker, my guiding light.

[Verse 3]
Gabby and Aviana, gifts we hold,
Rocco and Demie, worth more than gold.
A family built on your gentle hands,
On promises kept and quiet plans.
So thank you, Bill, for the life we made,
For a love that time will never fade.

[Chorus]
Look at us, we are meant to be together,
Fifty-five years and still holding on tight.
Through every season, every kind of weather,
You've been my morning, you've been my light.

[Outro]
Bill, my forever, my always true,
There's no one I'd rather grow old with than you.
