The night when I first met you
I had eyes for someone else
At that time in my life I felt
Just like a book left upon a shelf

But soon you and I began talking
As we listened to the band
The words seemed to flow so easily
As our hearts soon took command

We talked of our love of music
So much in common there seemed to be
It was at that moment I realised
My soulmate you were destined to be

Since that night you and I have been together
And I'm so glad you decided to stay
For together we've had many good times
With some sadness along the way

You've always been one who would listen
As you took everything in your stride
How very blessed was I
When you chose me to be your bride

Seventeen years now we've been together
And so much joy you've brought my way
As I send you all my love
On this your 40th Birthday


*Dedicated to my soulmate and husband, Andrew, who is the light of my life.

Two peas in a pod - you and me
You give your love unconditionally
You and I were meant to be
I'll be yours for all eternity
