Based on "You are the Sunshine of my Life" by Stevie Wonder

You are my friend, my centre, my lover, my wife; you are always the sunshine of my life. My love for you deepens as the days - the years - go by; you are always the apple of my eye. For over thirty years, in my life you've been a part; always and forever you will stay in my heart. When we first met, you sensed that I was lonely, perhaps because you were lonely too. I think we came to each other's rescue, and it still amazes me how much love is inside of you. You are the greatest love I have ever found, and that is why I'll always be around. And even when the clouds are dark, dank and grey I'll be right here beside you and, with you, I'll always stay.
