MY LOVING HUSBAND Mahmoud

[Verse 1]
Some love shows up like summer rain,
Soft and sudden, then it stays.
July of 2008,
Flowers came to my front door,
Wrapped up in a vase of green,
Prettiest thing I'd ever seen.

[Chorus]
You're my best friend, my steady ground,
The kindest heart I've ever found.
Through every road, through every year,
Your gentle hand has led me here.
Oh Mahmoud, it's always you,
My soul mate, faithful, forever true.

[Verse 2]
That August I left Rhode Island's shore,
Came to Texas wanting more.
At San Luis Pass in Galveston,
Salt wind blowing, setting sun,
You kissed me once and I just knew,
My whole heart belonged to you.

[Chorus]
You're my best friend, my steady ground,
The kindest heart I've ever found.
Through every road, through every year,
Your gentle hand has led me here.
Oh Mahmoud, it's always you,
My soul mate, faithful, forever true.

[Bridge]
September came, we said I do,
And I've never looked at another since you.
You're genuine, you're good, you're strong,
You're where my heart has always belonged.

[Verse 3]
Now when this anniversary comes around,
I think of all the love we've found.
I still see that vase of green,
Still feel that kiss beside the sea.
Mahmoud, I'll love you all my days,
In a thousand quiet ways.

[Chorus]
You're my best friend, my steady ground,
The kindest heart I've ever found.
Through every road, through every year,
Your gentle hand has led me here.
Oh Mahmoud, it's always you,
My soul mate, faithful, forever true.

[Outro]
From that summer to this day,
I'm yours, my love, come what may.
