Lyrics
You placed gold on my finger
You brought love, like I’ve never known
You gave life to our children
And to me, a reason to go on
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all, you’re my best friend
When I need hope and inspiration
You’re always strong when I’m tired and weak
I could search this whole world over
You’d still be everythin’ that I need
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all, you’re my best friend
You’re my bread when I’m hungry
You’re my shelter from troubled winds
You’re my anchor in life’s ocean
But most of all, you’re my best friend
