Seventy Summers

[Verse 1] I remember when your hair was dark And my hands were strong and sure We were young and full of questions Never knowing what was for Now the mirror shows us different But my darling I still see The same eyes that first said yes to me Across that table, wild and free [Pre-Chorus] We made it through the lean years We made it through the grief We held on to each other Like a vine holds to its leaf [Chorus] Seventy summers, you and me Not one wasted, can't you see Every wrinkle is a chapter Every grey hair is a song Seventy summers, we belong Still so right, been here so long Hold my hand across the table This is where I've always belonged [Verse 2] Sunday mornings with our coffee Watching grandchildren grow tall Being everything to everyone And still being best of all To each other first and always That's the promise that we keep Like the stars that don't stop shining In the middle of the deep [Pre-Chorus] We've outlasted every winter We've outlaughed a thousand fears Built a family out of nothing Built a life worth all the years [Chorus] Seventy summers, you and me Not one wasted, can't you see Every wrinkle is a chapter Every grey hair is a song Seventy summers, we belong Still so right, been here so long Hold my hand across the table This is where I've always belonged [Bridge] And when the grandkids ask us What's the secret to it all We just smile and say Stay in love through the fall Through the winter, through the silence Through the loud and through the pain Just keep choosing one another Over and over again [Final Chorus] Seventy summers, you and me More in love than we used to be Every wrinkle is a story Every grey hair is a crown Seventy summers standing Never letting the other down Hold my hand into forever Best is now, best is now [Outro] Best is now… still the best is now…
