Ten Years of You and Me
(Verse 1)
Well, darlin’, it was ten years ago today,
We said “I do” in that old church by the bay.
You in your white dress, me in my boots so fine,
I knew right then you’d always be mine.
We’ve chased sunsets down them dusty back roads,
Shared laughs over coffee when the mornin’ light glowed.
Through the ups and the downs, the storms and the shine,
You’re the best darn decision that’s ever been mine.
(Chorus)
Oh, happy anniversary, my sweet country queen!
Ten years of lovin’ you’s the best dream I’ve seen.
I’m proud as a peacock, shoutin’ it from the hill,
That havin’ you in my life gives my heart such a thrill.
You’re my sunshine, my partner, my best friend through and through,
Darlin’, I’m so darn lucky—ten years of you and me!
(Verse 2)
We’ve raised some kids and a garden or two,
Danced in the kitchen to our favorite tunes.
From fishin’ on the river to stars up above,
Every moment with you is a whole lotta love.
You’ve got that smile that lights up the night,
And a heart so big, it makes everything right.
We’ve shared our secrets, our hopes, and our plans,
Buildin’ this life hand in hand.
(Chorus)
Oh, happy anniversary, my sweet country queen!
Ten years of lovin’ you’s the best dream I’ve seen.
I’m proud as a peacock, shoutin’ it from the hill,
That havin’ you in my life gives my heart such a thrill.
You’re my sunshine, my partner, my best friend through and through,
Darlin’, I’m so darn lucky—ten years of you and me!
(Bridge)
So here’s to the next ten, and a hundred more,
We’ll keep on lovin’ like never before.
No fancy words needed, just you by my side,
You’re my forever, my joy, my pride.
(Final Chorus – with a little extra twang)
Oh, happy anniversary, my sweet country queen!
Ten years of lovin’ you’s the best dream I’ve seen.
I’m proud as a peacock, lettin’ the whole world know,
That you’re the reason my happiness grows.
You’re my sunshine, my partner, my best friend through and through,
Darlin’, I’m so darn lucky—ten years of you and me!
Yeah, ten years of you… and me.
