(Lyrics by Patrick Aquilone)
(From the poem 25 by Patrick Aquilone)
(intrumental intro)
## VERSE 1
(Warm, nostalgic storytelling)
Chasing girls through computer screens
Making my messages appear
Early to class, sitting up front
Never knowing that you were there
You'd been watching from the back row
As I sat there without a clue
Then I turned around, you started laughing
Our eyes met—And I knew.
VERSE 2 (Affectionate, playful) You asked when I had no money You said, “I'm paying,” I said yes Walking into that Pizza Hut With cash from dad tucked in my chest
But you grabbed the check off the table
Paid it just like you said you'd do
Our first date, you won over me
I knew I was in love with you
CHORUS (Soaring, passionate, strong vocal lift) Thirty-five years and three kids later Through every dream that didn't come true We laughed we cried we held on together I still get to wake up with you
Through every high and every low
Every road God has brought us through
I still love your eyes when you laugh
Every day I still fall for you
(intrumental turnaround)
## VERSE 3
(Vulnerable, aching, heartfelt)
Hearing we could not have children
And God with other plans in view
When my momma passed to heaven
I found my strength because of you
Then working hard to build our life
We almost worked our love in two
Had to learn to stand together
Only God and grace pulled us through
CHORUS (Powerful, deeply grateful) Thirty-five years and three kids later Through every dream that didn't come true We laughed we cried we held on together I still get to wake up with you
Through every high and every low
Every road God has brought us through
I still love your eyes when you laugh
Every day I still fall for you
BRIDGE (Reflective opening, building to emotional belt) If I could do it all over Knowing every heartache and pain As long as I walked it with you I'd gladly do it all again
Through every scar and every storm
Hand in hand we have made it through
I'd still turn around in that class
If it meant ending up with you
FINAL CHORUS (Full vocal power, soaring emotional climax) Thirty-five years and three kids later Through every dream that didn't come true We laughed we cried we held on together I still get to wake up with you
Through every high and every low
Every road God has brought us through
I still love your eyes when you laugh
I'll spend forever falling for you
OUTRO (Tender, quiet, intimate) After Thirty-five years of us There is one thing I know is true I will forever be thankful I turned around and fell for you
