I Fall In Love With You

1982. Gasoline is 91¢ a gallon, Thriller is released, the 1st cd player is sold, the Falklands are invaded, and "Dallas" is the #1 show on television. And on March 6, John and Patty got married.

I'm so thankful that she said yes to me. I'm so humbled that she trusts me. I'm so amazed that she loves me even with all my flaws. Patty is remarkable in so many ways.

She's beautiful. She's funny. She's powerful in her soul. She's a great mom and will soon be the best grandmother ever. She's a world class chef and can whip up a 5 star meal for 20+ people faster than a drive-thru with no notice. She laughs at most of my jokes (nobody's perfect).

Patty pursues God with all her heart. She has great compassion and always speaks the best of everyone. She tells the truth no matter what. Everything I wish I was, Patty is naturally, effortlessly.

On that Sunday morning, the day after Valentine's, I gazed on something pure and precious as I saw her for the first time. And I knew she would be my wife. I loved her at that moment and that moment has never ended.

I know she deserves better, but she seems perfectly content to settle for me.

Just before John Blake arrived on earth, I tried to express my feelings to Patty through this song, but it only reveals how much I need and want her in my life. But as I said, the moment hasn't ended yet, so we'll just stick with what works.

Here's to the rest of our lives, my sweet love and very best friend.

I FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU

How cute it that!

Right from the start
The first time I ever saw your face
I gave my heart
To a little girl on Valentine's Day

I can't believe
So many years have come and gone
To look back and see
All the memories down this road we're on

So much has changed for the kids we were back then
But one thing's the same, time and time again

I fall in love with you
Every day this love feels brand new
I can't escape the simple honest truth:
Every day I fall in love with you

It's hard to believe
That someone can love me like you do
You've stayed right by me
Even after all I have put you through

I'm so glad you're mine, oh the life I would have missed
That sweet crooked smile you know I can't resist

I fall in love with you
Every day this love feels brand new
I can't escape the simple honest truth:
Every day I fall in love with you

As the seasons roll like crashing waves and it comes down to you and me
I'll hold you close in the setting sun, and tomorrow you will see...

I fall in love with you
Every day this love feels brand new
I can't escape the simple honest truth:
Every day I fall in love with you
