(Verse 1)
Mercy Char my love .The calendar page turns, but my heart stays still
On the twentieth of October, against my own will
I look back at the date, twenty-twenty-one
When a simple message changed everything under the sun
Your birthday wishes were the spark in the dark
The very first moment you left your mark
I didn't know then that the words you sent
Were the start of a life that was heaven-sent.
(Chorus)
And I can’t forget, no, I never will
That day you walked into my world, and time stood still
From that first hello to the love we share
I’ve found my home in your steady care
I may not be perfect, I’ve got my flaws
But I love you sincerely, without any pause
I promise you now, in my own humble way
I’ll live just to love you, each and every day.
(Verse 2)
Since that day, the sun has risen and set
But you’re the best thing I’ve ever met
Every passing moment, every turn of the wheel
My love for you grows, so deep and so real
Through the laughter we share and the tears we dry
I look at the light in your beautiful eye
And I know that my purpose, as clear as the blue
Is walking this life, hand in hand with you.
(Bridge)
I’m just a man with a heart on my sleeve
Giving you all that I have to believe
I don't need to be perfect, I don't need to be grand
Just enough to be holding your hand
Until the very last breath that I take
Yours is the love that I’ll never forsake.
(Chorus)
‘Cause I can’t forget, no, I never will
That day you walked into my world, and time stood still
From that first hello to the love we share
I’ve found my home in your steady care
I may not be perfect, I’ve got my flaws
But I love you sincerely, without any pause
I promise you now, in my own humble way
I’ll live just to love you, each and every day.
(Outro)
October the twentieth, the start of the rest
Of a life with you, my heart is truly blessed
I’ll love you always, come what may
Today, tomorrow, and every passing day. Know it that Jesse Aboki will always love you
