Sixty-Eight Winters

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two kids with nothing but a dream, And a promise made beneath the trees. The years rolled by like a country road, Sixty-eight winters, we still hold. Through every season, come what may, Your steady love has lit the way. [Chorus] Oh Carl, you're the rock, the faithful heart, Been my forever from the start. Through the day and through the night, Always ready, always right. A love that God alone could send, My darling, my forever friend. [Verse 2] Six little ones we raised with care, And still you'd move a mountain there. No hour too late, no drive too far, You'd grab your keys and start the car. Whatever they need, big or small, You give your all, you give your all. [Chorus] Oh Carl, you're the rock, the faithful heart, Been my forever from the start. Through the day and through the night, Always ready, always right. A love that God alone could send, My darling, my forever friend. [Bridge] You've never wavered in your faith, His hand in yours through every place. A legacy of love so true, Lives on in all that came from you. [Verse 3] Still my sweetheart from our teens, The finest man I've ever seen. Another candle glows tonight, Your smile still fills my world with light. So here's to you, my dearest one, Our story's only just begun. [Chorus] Oh Carl, you're the rock, the faithful heart, Been my forever from the start. Through the day and through the night, Always ready, always right. A love that God alone could send, My darling, my forever friend. [Outro] Happy birthday, love of mine, Forever yours through endless time.
