Paul

[Verse 1]
There's a quiet kind of strong
In the way you carry on
Never asking for a thing
Just the love your heart could bring
I still see those blue eyes shine
Like the day you first were mine

[Chorus]
You gave and gave, you never took your share
Every extra shift, you showed me that you care
Through all my foolish days, you held me close and true
Oh Paul, my love, there's no one quite like you

[Verse 2]
It was a church where we began
You, my coach, a steady hand
Forty-seven years have rolled
Through the young and through the old
Christmas lights and summer roads
You carried all our heavy loads

[Chorus]
You gave and gave, you never took your share
Every extra shift, you showed me that you care
Through all my foolish days, you held me close and true
Oh Paul, my love, there's no one quite like you

[Bridge]
On your knees each night you pray
For the ones who slipped away
Faith to hold what we have lost
Love that pays whatever cost

[Verse 3]
You forgave me time and again
My best friend, my everything, my man
You protect me, still you stay
First to love, and you'll never stray
Paul, I'd walk it all once more
You're the one my whole heart's for

[Chorus]
You gave and gave, you never took your share
Every extra shift, you showed me that you care
Through all my foolish days, you held me close and true
Oh Paul, my love, there's no one quite like you

[Outro]
Through the end of all our days
I'll love you in a thousand ways
My first, my best, my faithful friend
I'm yours until the very end
