Personalized song for Toni — for an anniversary

The lyrics

[Verse 1]
Toni, we met through your sister, I remember that day
You didn't like me at first, tried to keep me away
I laughed it off, stuck around, hoping you'd see
Every joke, every glance, you started warming to me
We'd talk on the phone till the streetlights came on
Slow steps, first dates, then the old doubts were gone
Looking back, I still smile at how it began
With your sister’s quick intro and my nervous hands

[Chorus]
Twenty-five years, and I still reach for your hand
After all we’ve been through, I still stand
From the start to right now, I’m your biggest fan
Twenty-five years, and I still reach for your hand

[Verse 2]
Toni, remember those months we just dated around
Long drives and small towns, not a plan to be found
Then that day, the world spun, headlights and fear
Almost lost you in that car accident, holding back tears
I sat by your bedside, counting each breath
Promised myself I’d love you, whatever came next
There’s no way to measure the luck that we had
You opened your eyes, and I knew what we had

[Chorus]
Twenty-five years, and I still reach for your hand
After all we’ve been through, I still stand
From the start to right now, I’m your biggest fan
Twenty-five years, and I still reach for your hand

[Bridge]
Wedding rings, vows said with trembling voices
We built a life out of everyday choices
Twenty-five anniversaries, candles on the cake
I’d choose you again, there’s no mistake
We’ve weathered the storms, laughed till we cried
Still waking up grateful, with you by my side
Anniversary morning, I watch you wake and understand
Twenty-five years, and I still reach for your hand

[Final Chorus]
Twenty-five years, and I still reach for your hand
After all we’ve been through, I still stand
From the start to right now, I’m your biggest fan
Twenty-five years, and I still reach for your hand
