Jill must’ve been impressed because the pair have been married for 27 years and have three daughters together!

So, for their 27th anniversary, Harry still wanted to impress his wife. He recorded the song, 'One Fine Thing,' which may be one of the best songs in his career. His soft, deep, and silky voice perfectly captures every octave as he croons all the little things he adores about his wife,
“When I'm walkin... I see you.
And I'm wonderin’ what it must be like to be you.
You're a sunrise, you're heaven.
You're the reason that God rested on day seven.”
