We were both searching for something
Before the time we'd first met
We had travelled to faraway places
Then one night our fate was set

The room was smoky and crowded
As we listened to the band
You whispered in my ear
And asked to hold my hand

So few had shown any interest
But you were different than the rest
For this night I found my soul mate
There was no way I could have guessed

That was eighteen years ago
We've been together since that day
You've stayed faithfully beside me
No matter come what may

We have never had a fight
As our respect remains so true
So sincere and so very genuine
Is this love I have for you

Life's road hasn't always been easy
But you've remained here by my side
My love for you grows stronger
In you I always can confide

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

You are one lucky lady, Sue. I don't think there are very many people in this day and time who stay together for that long.
