That Old Porch Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A Friday night, I took a ride, The armory lights, the old town wide. Eight months alone, my heart had healed, And there he stood, my whole world revealed. A soldier's coat, a face I knew— From letters wrote when Korea called him through. [Chorus] No matter what, we'll find our way, Through every storm, through every gray. Hand in hand, we chose to stay, Tony, my love, still here today. Fifty-four years of holding on, A love that grew and carried on. [Verse 2] I tapped the horn, he crossed the lawn, We talked and laughed until the dawn. We drove around, we found our start, Two lonely roads, one beating heart. He knelt and asked me to be his, And I got scared of how good love is. [Chorus] No matter what, we'll find our way, Through every storm, through every gray. Hand in hand, we chose to stay, Tony, my love, still here today. Fifty-four years of holding on, A love that grew and carried on. [Bridge] I picked up the phone to make things right, The line never rang—you were calling that night. Two hearts reaching in the dark, God was leading, lighting every spark. [Verse 3] September came in '72, I walked the aisle straight to you. A legacy of laughs and tears, Of gratitude across the years. So thank you, Lord, for that old porch light, For leading me home that Friday night. [Chorus] No matter what, we'll find our way, Through every storm, through every gray. Hand in hand, we chose to stay, Tony, my love, forever stay. [Outro] Fifty-four years, and still I'm yours, No matter what—forever more.
