Long Brown Hair

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A yellow bus, a morning light, long brown hair that caught my eye. You'd stumble whenever I came near, and somehow I knew love was here. You talked to me when I played asleep, those quiet words I still keep. [Chorus] Oh, that smile lights up my day, you take my breath the sweetest way. Through the years my heart runs deep, you're the promise that I keep. Thank the heavens up above, for the joy of all your love. [Verse 2] When I was low and lost my way, you looked at me and chose to stay. "We'll get through this," soft and true, you never gave up, you saw me through. I call her Shann, my faithful one, the reason every storm is done. [Chorus] Oh, that smile lights up my day, you take my breath the sweetest way. Through the years my heart runs deep, you're the promise that I keep. Thank the heavens up above, for the joy of all your love. [Bridge] Shannon, sixty-six today, still my bride in every way. We renewed those sacred vows, and I love you deeper now. [Verse 3] The longer that we walk this road, the more my grateful heart has grown. You care for me, you hold me near, my everything, my joy, my dear. Shannon, here's my birthday prayer — many more years, you and me there. [Chorus] Oh, that smile lights up my day, you take my breath the sweetest way. Through the years my heart runs deep, you're the promise that I keep. Thank the heavens up above, for the joy of all your love. [Outro] Happy birthday, my faithful friend, I'll love you, Shann, until the end.
