[Verse 1]
Vyf jaar terug, 'n sonnige dag
Five years ago, a sunny day
My hart het geweet, sonder 'n vraag
My heart knew, without a question
Op ses-en-twintig Februarie,
On twenty-sixth February,
Het ek jou gekies, my liefling, vir ewig by my
I chose you, my darling, forever with me
[Chorus]
O, Sweetlips, my lief, my alles
Oh, Sweetlips, my love, my everything
Jy's die glimlag, die druk, die kus in my paleis
You're the smile, the hug, the kiss in my palace
Elke dag saam jou, 'n geskenk van Bo
Every day with you, a gift from Above
My Sweetlips, my liefde, ek sal altyd glo
My Sweetlips, my love, I will always believe
[Verse 2]
Jou lag is soos musiek, dit maak my vrolik
Your laugh is like music, it makes me joyful
Selfs as ek jou wakker soen, is jy so oulik
Even when I kiss you awake, you're so cute
Met jou aan my sy, 'n pikkewyn in ons droom
With you by my side, a penguin in our dream
Sal ons die wêreld reis, 'n lewe vol stroom
We will travel the world, a life full of flow
[Chorus]
O, Sweetlips, my lief, my alles
Oh, Sweetlips, my love, my everything
Jy's die glimlag, die druk, die kus in my paleis
You're the smile, the hug, the kiss in my palace
Elke dag saam jou, 'n geskenk van Bo
Every day with you, a gift from Above
My Sweetlips, my liefde, ek sal altyd glo
My Sweetlips, my love, I will always believe
[Bridge]
'n Ewigheid saam jou, is al wat ek vra
An eternity with you, is all I ask
My belofte aan jou, dit sal nooit vergaan
My promise to you, it will never fade
[Chorus]
O, Sweetlips, my lief, my alles
Oh, Sweetlips, my love, my everything
Jy's die glimlag, die druk, die kus in my paleis
You're the smile, the hug, the kiss in my palace
Elke dag saam jou, 'n geskenk van Bo
Every day with you, a gift from Above
My Sweetlips, my liefde, ek sal altyd glo
My Sweetlips, my love, I will always believe

Afrikaanse country met kitaar en viool. Moet n diep manstem hê. Moet wees vir sweetlips(wat ek my vrou noem). Moet dankie sê vir 5jr se getroude lewe, Vir elke dag se glimlag,druk en soen. Sing oor die beste besluit wat ek kon maak op 26 Februarie. Moet sing oor ek wat uitsien om n ewigheid saam haar en pikkewyn te spandeer,om die wereld deur te toer en nuwe mense te ontmoet. Moet noem hoe mal
