Barrettes in Your Hair

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some things in life you never plan, They find you like the summer rain. A small town day, a crowded room, And nothing's ever been the same. I saw a girl with barrettes in her hair, And I knew right then my heart was there. [Chorus] From the first kiss to the last breath, Girl, I'm loving you, Jeanne. Superwoman can't hold a candle To the heart in your hands. Your endless love holds us together, You're the best of who I am. [Verse 2] Fifty years of Sunday tables, Five of ours to start the line, Then seven more God sent our way, And a granddaughter, yours and mine. Thirteen hearts and one tired mama Who never once ran out of time. [Chorus] From the first kiss to the last breath, Girl, I'm loving you, Jeanne. Superwoman can't hold a candle To the heart in your hands. Your endless love holds us together, You're the best of who I am. [Bridge] I look at you across the years, Through all the laughter, all the tears, And I love you more than yesterday, More than that boy who stood and stared. [Verse 3] Now the house is a little quieter, But the phone still rings all night. Every kid still calls for Mama, Every one you raised just right. And when the good Lord calls me home, I'll thank Him that my love was you. [Chorus] From the first kiss to the last breath, Girl, I'm loving you, Jeanne. Fifty years and loving you more, Still that boy holding your hand. Your endless love holds us together, You're the best of who I am. [Outro] Barrettes in your hair, gray in mine, I'd choose you, Jeanne, every time.
