San Francisco Sweethearts – Paul and Edna

(Verse 1)
Born in the city where the cable cars climb,
Paul and Edna, children of a different time,
He learned the business, she trimmed the hats,
Two souls growing up where the fog rolled back,
Then the ground started shaking, nineteen-oh-six dawn,
But love finds a way when everything's gone.

(Verse 2)
Married in June while the city still burned,
Starting their journey with lessons they'd learned,
Two daughters came, Muriel and Edna May,
Paul worked the oil company, earning his pay,
The Master of the Lodge, serving with pride,
Edna kept the home where love would reside.

(Chorus)
They built a life on Rivoli Street,
Where the roses bloomed and the hearts would meet,
Through the earthquakes and the years gone by,
Two San Francisco souls beneath the California sky,
Hand in hand through joy and sorrow,
Building today, believing in tomorrow,
They built a life on Rivoli Street.

(Verse 3)
Nineteen thirty-four, his heart gave way,
Paul left too early on that May day,
But Edna carried on for forty years more,
"Yoo-Hoo!" she'd call out at the family door,
Her grandkids called her "Oo-Hoo" with delight,
She'd bring them roses, pink and white.

(Bridge)
From the ashes we rise,
From the broken we build,
With faith in our hearts,
And dreams unfulfilled becoming real,
Oh, they showed us the way,
Through the darkest of nights,
How to hold on together,
How to find the light.

(Verse 4)
Sixty-three years in the Eastern Star,
Living by love, no matter how far,
At ninety years old, she closed her eyes,
Joined her Paul under Cypress skies,
Two native children of the Bay,
Their memory lives on to this very day.

(Outro)
So here's to the ones who showed us the way,
Who married in ashes and chose to stay,
On Rivoli Street, number forty-six,
Where love and resilience forever mix,
Paul and Edna, your story lives on,
In the heart of the city where you belonged,
On Rivoli Street... on Rivoli Street.
