Fifty-Five Years and Still We Grow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Autumn nights on a college campus green, Two strangers talking 'bout the world we'd seen. Hours of talking, we lost track of time, Six short weeks and I knew you'd be mine. They didn't get it, but we didn't care, Two different worlds finding heaven right there. [Chorus] Oh, my love, you call me beau, Fifty-five years and still we grow. Through every storm, through every tear, Your faithful heart has kept me here. Jack, my forever, my steady flame, I'd walk it all back, do it all again. [Verse 2] We dreamed of family, a house full of noise, Of teaching young hearts, of lifting up joys. Jermaine—our first born, Justin, Jahree, Jenee—our children, our legacy. You gave them your loyalty, strong and true, Every good thing in them came from you. [Chorus] Oh, my love, you call me beau, Fifty-five years and still we grow. Through every storm, through every tear, Your faithful heart has kept me here. Jack, my forever, my steady flame, I'd walk it all back, do it all again. [Bridge] When the storm came for your mind, we prayed, And love and grace, they would not be swayed. We lost a son at forty-five— But faith and each other kept us alive. [Verse 3] Now here we stand where the years have grown, Sweeter than any we've ever known. Your devotion, your quiet, steady flame, Still the reason I whisper your name. Jack, my anchor through fire and rain, Every trial we walked, love remains. [Chorus] Oh, my love, you call me beau, Fifty-five years and still we grow. Through every storm, through every tear, Your faithful heart has kept me here. [Outro] Jack, my forever, take my hand, Together always, just as we planned.
