Joe Gough

[Verse 1]
I was finding my way back to the light,
Learning to stand, learning to fight.
The world felt new, unsure and slow,
Then in walked a man I'd come to know.
Trust grew soft like a winter flame,
And love arrived when Christmas came.

[Chorus]
Oh, my steadfast heart, my guiding star,
I love you just the way you are.
Through every move, through every mile,
Your listening ear, your gentle smile.
I'll hold you close, you're mine, you're mine,
I'll love you till the end of time.

[Verse 2]
Six months later I wore your ring,
And thirty-two years taught me to sing.
You turned your life around back then,
The strongest, kindest of all men.
An old love song upon your lips,
A tender word, a hand to grip.

[Chorus]
Oh, my steadfast heart, my guiding star,
I love you just the way you are.
Through every move, through every mile,
Your listening ear, your gentle smile.
I'll hold you close, you're mine, you're mine,
I'll love you till the end of time.

[Bridge]
Joe Go, you're wise and funny too,
There's no one, love, quite like you.
Though the road grows quiet now,
I'm here beside you, this I vow.

[Verse 3]
Eighty-nine years the world's been blessed,
By your dear heart, the very best.
Whatever storm may come our way,
I'll stay right here, I'll gently stay.
Joe Go, my love, you saved my life,
And I'm so proud to be your wife.

[Chorus]
Oh, my steadfast heart, my guiding star,
I love you just the way you are.
Through every move, through every mile,
I'm grateful for your gentle smile.
I'll hold you close, you're mine, you're mine,
I'll love you till the end of time.

[Outro]
Joe Go, rest easy, love won't fade,
Forever yours, the vow I made.
