Fifty-Three Years of Butterflies

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The sun goes down on the fence line Like it's done a thousand times before I've watched the seasons come and go From this old wooden porch But my mind drifts back to the day we knew We belonged together, me and you [Chorus] Fifty-three years and I still get butterflies Still feel that spark when I look in your eyes Your kindness, your beauty, your faithful heart Holding us together, never apart Joleen, I love you always and all ways Forever's just the start of our days [Verse 2] You built a home with gentle hands Raised our family strong and true When hard times came knocking at the door Your devotion saw us through And every Sunday round our table Your love is what they all can see [Chorus] Fifty-three years and I still get butterflies Still feel that spark when I look in your eyes Your kindness, your beauty, your faithful heart Holding us together, never apart Joleen, I love you always and all ways Forever's just the start of our days [Bridge] And when this life has run its course And these old bones are laid to rest I'll still be reaching for your hand 'Cause loving you is what I do best [Verse 3] So here's to all the years behind And all the ones still left to come I still feel that anticipation Every morning with the rising sun Joleen, you're my celebration My strength, my joy, my only one [Chorus] Fifty-three years and I still get butterflies Still feel that spark when I look in your eyes Your kindness, your beauty, your faithful heart Holding us together, never apart Beyond this life, past the end of days I'll love you always and all ways [Outro] Always and all ways Joleen, you're my forever
