[Verse 1]
My heart was drifting, just floating along
'Til a black lab, proved where I belong
He sat by your side, a loyal, soft friend
And my world shifted, knew it would never end

[Chorus]
Now we're building our lives, mixing laughter and trust
A warm hand on my back, chasing away winter's gust
Me with my quiet, just taking it in
My dependable love, letting the sweetness begin

[Verse 2]
You've always got stories, tucked deep in your mind
Adventures you lived, and the ones you still find
I love hearin' you talk, your voice calm and low
A reminder each day, of all the things I don't know

[Verse 3]
I love how you look, at the stars in the night
Or the way morning breaks, with the coming of light
You see the world clear, with steady, strong eyes
And I'm grateful each day, for your quiet surprise

[Chorus]
Now we're building our lives, mixing laughter and trust
A warm hand on my back, chasing away winter's gust
Me with my quiet, just taking it in
My dependable love, letting the sweetness begin

[Bridge]
Coffee's brewin' early, and road trips we crave
Dreamin' of quiet mornings, and memories we save
You sneak up on me, just to make me jump
And try to explain all your playful heart's ways
But I learn from your passion, the strength that you show
My calm and steady man, helping me learn and grow

[Chorus]
Now we're building our lives, mixing laughter and trust
A warm hand on my back, chasing away winter's gust
Me with my quiet, just taking it in
My dependable love, letting the sweetness begin

[Outro]
I love you to the power of N, a love that won't end
My soulmate, my listener, my truest best friend.
