A best friend is something great to have; they are the other you.
I knew when we met that I would always be in love with you too.
What a grand life we have had; each child that came made it sure
We have traveled many times, sometimes troubles we had to endure.

I wonder what we would do if we would have passed each other by?
Would we have known the joy and love, or would we cry?
There is always joy as we waken in the morning bright and clear.
Knowing another wonderful day will be so sweet and dear.

Best friends fall in love too and I am so glad we did that night
We were in your brothers’ restaurant and I am staying out of sight
So many years ago, yet I remember oh so well
You pulled me against your chest and kissed me. I did not tell.

I hope you have a wondrous Fathers’ day my sweet love
You are one of the reasons I know there is a Savior above
Who else could have made a man like you, so sweet and true?
Moreover, on top of that, a very good looking gent too…
