September Brought Me You

September comes around again, my love

There is one day I'll forever hold inside my heart

September 17th

The day this world was blessed with you

September comes

The sky seems brighter

Autumn whispers softly through our window

I look at you and somehow love you even more

The girl I fell in love with then

Is still right here with me

21 years have passed just like

Through all the sunshine and the pouring rain

With our own hands we built this life together

And whenever we are together that is what I call home

I used to think that love was just a promise

But after all these years, now I understand

Love is watching everything around us changing

Then looking into your eyes and loving you the same

Happy birthday, my beautiful silk

September 17th is brighter because of you

I cannot promise you the whole wide world

But for every year that I have left

I only want to walk beside you

Even when the years turn our hair silver

Even when life brings us laughter and tears

If I could go back and choose all over again

I would still choose you

And I would still call you my wife

Someday our children will all have their own lives

And this home may belong to just us two

When that day comes, I hope we look back together

Hold each other close and softly say

We've come so far, my love

Had we ghosted my beautiful silk

Thank you for these 21 years beside me

On September 17th, there's nothing more I need

I only pray you'll always find your peace

And always have a reason to smile

And through whatever years we have ahead

Even when we're old, I'll still wanna hold your hand

Just like the very first day I knew I loved you

September has so many days

But to me, the most beautiful one will always be

The day that brought me in
