Inspired by the longevity of my Grandparents marriage.
lyrics
The last drink before the bar closes, the last song the band plays tonight, and I knew from the moment I met you that I’d probably be all right. We walked to my house under starlight, but I left my keys at the bar, so we climbed in through my kitchen window, and danced until dawn in the dark.
Well baby its two years and counting, and I wouldn’t take back one day, I got you this ring, and I’ll ask you one thing, here in my life won’t you stay.
You’re the first thing I see every morning, you’re the last thing I see every night, I know every day won’t easy, but I know that we’ll be alright. We built a new house on the outskirts of town, with a little backyard and a tall apple tree, now every spring the tree flowers, and every autumn you harvest with me.
Well baby its ten years and counting, and I wouldn’t take back one day, I got you this ring, and I’ll ask you one thing, here in my life won’t you stay.
The first new years eve with the house to ourselves, the last glass of wine after midnight, and with your hand in mine, I say with a smile, I told you that we’d be alright.
Well it’s sixty-five years and counting, and I wouldn’t take back one day, I got you this ring, and I’ll ask you one thing, here in my life won’t you stay.
Just found this by chance in the "if you like David Stone... section" - It's a beautifully warm record, clean and smooth, but without being polished to a shine. Perfect walking-in-Autumn record. David Stone
