We know the date we met
We know where it was too
But how we started talking
Nobody really knew
It was New Years Eve 1994
That was the night I met you
I knew from that very first moment
You'd be the one who'd make me say I do
I had never wanted to marry
Let alone have children too
Career was all I ever focused on
Until the day I met you
That night you changed my life
With those icy blue eyes
It certainly wasn't your fashion sense
That had me all sighs
You came back to my flat
We kissed and talked until dawn
We fell asleep in each others arms
I felt safe with you and warm
You left the next day
Home was hundreds of miles away
But you couldn't stop thinking
I don't want to let this one get away
You asked me to marry you
One cold September night
It wasn't very romantic
But all the words you said were right
I didn't know what to do
I didn't know what to say
I got up and went to the restroom
I had dreamt about this day
And with just one simple word
My life would change forever
I love you now as much as then
No matter the stormy weather
Seventeen years later and those ice blue eyes
Still have the same effect
But there's another little girl who's captured your heart
And for her you'll always protect
Our beautiful boy will be your bessie mate
That I can't deny
But the love you have for our baby daughter
Would make a grown man cry.
Our little family is so very special
And only you and I know why
I love you now as I loved you then
And will always until the day I die
*for my ubby who once again is thousands of miles away.
