…. Spousal Unit did a previously undone thing. He copied song lyrics for me and put them in the wonderful card he had bought to honor the occasion of our 18th anniversary.

The song is God Gave Me You and it’s by Dave Barnes. Here are the lyrics.

Lyrics to God Gave Me You :
I’ve been a walking heartache
I’ve made a mess of me
The person that I’ve been lately,
Aint who I wanna be
But you stay here right beside me
And watch as the storm goes through
And I need you

Chorus:

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you

There’s more here than what we’re seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely,
Could somehow fall for me
You’ll always be love’s great martyr
And I’ll be the flattered fool
And I need you

(Yeah)

Chorus:

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you

On my own I’m only
Half of what I could be, I,
Can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has teathered, I,
Could baby never un-do

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt

x2

For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you
Gave me you

And yes. Of course I got all teary. How could I not?
