[Verse 1]

[Verse 1] Met you at the Vic, two thousand and one Your laugh cut through the noise, like a ray from the sun We poured pints and dreams, didn’t know how much we’d grow Two boys later, grey in our hair, but you still glow [Verse 2] You’d be there for Strictly, white wine in your hand As Len calls "7" for the way the dancers land Sundays we'd watch F1, you yell “Go, Michael, go!” Pride and Prejudice on TV and I’m right where I belong [Chorus] Ann, you're my constant, my north star, my friend Through the breakups, the makeups, the years that don’t end You’re not just the mother of our boys, you’re my soul’s true home I’d move mountains, cross oceans, to save you from walking alone [Verse 3] Nicholas has your spirit, its purity and true There'll never be a moment when he won't shine from you Alexander is your fire and the passion you gave Belle, he learned it all from you, the way you brave the wave [Pre-Chorus] You say you’re fine, but I see when the world gets heavy I’ll be the shoulder, the light, the one who’s ready And if you feel like nostalgia at any time, Just text me a movie quote and i'll find the next line. [Chorus] Ann, you're my constant, my north star, my friend Through the breakups, the makeups, the years that don’t end You’re not just the mother of our boys, you’re my soul’s true home I’d move mountains, cross oceans, to save you from walking alone [Bridge] We don’t need rings, we don’t need vows We’ve got a love that’s quiet, but it’s loud enough for now You have an ear to listen and a hand to hold A shoulder to lean on and a friend until we're old [Chorus - quiet build] Ann, you're my constant, my north star, my friend Through the breakups, the makeups, the years that don’t end You’re not just the mother of our boys, you’re my soul’s true home I’d move mountains, cross oceans, to save you from walking alone Ann, your my North Staaarrr [Chorus – Repeat step up] Ann, you're my constant, my north star, my friend Through the breakups, the makeups, the years that don’t end You’re not just the mother of our boys, you’re my soul’s true home I’d move mountains, cross oceans, to save you from walking alone [Outro] So here’s to the pub, the boys, the wine, a lifetime in length To a love that changed, but never lost its strength You’ll never walk alone, I swear it’s true Ann, you mean the world to me, and I’m always here for you
