Cherry Avenue Summer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cherry Avenue Market in the summer light, Ball game across the street just out of sight, A tanned young boy with amazing calves walked in, And I'd grill a snack, hide a drink, just hoping you'd come back again. [Chorus] Always and forever, that's the vow we made, Through every high and low, we made it to today. Side by side, we built a home so true, And I'm still falling harder, falling deeper in love with you. [Verse 2] That Halloween you asked me to the dance, All the girls were smitten on you, but I prayed for my chance. Through job changes and miles far apart, Johnny, those blue eyes never once left my heart. [Chorus] Always and forever, that's the vow we made, Through every high and low, we made it to today. Side by side, we built a home so true, And I'm still falling harder, falling deeper in love with you. [Bridge] Northern roads I'd drive on weekends just to stay, Till that September morning stole my breath away. Mr. and Mrs. — a dream I still hold dear, Johnny, my best friend, forty-seven years. [Verse 3] Two daughters and a son, a circle strong and wide, Four little grands now dancing at our side. A brand new chapter, and I'm grateful once again, For the one true love, my forever, my best friend. [Chorus] Always and forever, that's the vow we made, Through every storm we weathered, we made it to today. Side by side, we made these dreams come true, And I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow. [Outro] Always and forever, babe, right here I'll be, Johnny, you're my whole life — you and me.
