Patti, You Still Leave Me Breathless

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The midnight bells were ringing loud I was a stranger in the crowd A boat without a rudder, lost at sea Then a blind date on New Year's Eve You smiled and steered the heart of me Now I know where I'm meant to be [Chorus] Thirty-nine years and I still feel seventeen You're the sweetest peace I've ever seen When you're all dressed up for the night I still catch my breath in the candlelight Patti, you're my harbor and my home With you I never stand alone [Verse 2] I remember holding our first child Your tired eyes, that gentle smile That's the day our family began You gave it all with open hands Now our grandkids see a hero true Every day you give them all of you [Chorus] Thirty-nine years and I still feel seventeen You're the sweetest peace I've ever seen When you're all dressed up for the night I still catch my breath in the candlelight Patti, you're my harbor and my home With you I never stand alone [Bridge] My Princess of Power, so strong and so kind The envy of so many, though it's never crossed your mind From LA to Philadelphia your love goes on Any storm that comes, together we stand strong [Verse 3] Nothing fills your heart like a crowded room Everybody home, the whole house in bloom All you've given, never asking why Your selfless love keeps our family tied I'm grateful for each day we've known I love this life we've made our own [Chorus] Thirty-nine years and I still feel seventeen You're the sweetest peace I've ever seen When you're all dressed up for the night I still catch my breath in the candlelight Patti, you're my harbor and my home Together we can face the unknown [Outro] Thirty-nine years, and I'd do it all again My love, my wife, my dearest friend
