Forever Began at Midnight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some nights the world just holds its breath and waits, A countdown in a crowded room, a heart that hesitates, I wasn't looking for forever when the clock struck twelve, But one look that New Year's Eve and I could tell, You said if he wants to date me, let him call, So I dialed that number, heart in hand, and gave it all. [Chorus] Fifty-eight years and you still shine like the night we met, My strength, my all, the best gift I've been given yet, When I was down you never once let go of me, You forgave me and you showed me who I'm meant to be, God blessed this simple man the day He sent me you, I thank Him every morning for my Linda Lou. [Verse 2] No need to keep on looking, from the start we knew, Then came Stephanie, so strong and smart, an angel too, Without her we'd be lost, she's got your fire in her eyes, Now Sterling keeps us young with every new surprise, You always had the words I needed when the road got rough, Your energy still amazes me, I can't get enough. [Chorus] Fifty-eight years and you still shine like the night we met, My strength, my all, the best gift I've been given yet, When I was down you never once let go of me, You forgave me and you showed me who I'm meant to be, God blessed this simple man the day He sent me you, I thank Him every morning for my Linda Lou. [Outro] From that New Year's Eve, look how far we've come, My heart, my home, my whole life through, So proud of all we are, my Linda Lou.
