A Leap of Faith in '69

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back in '69, the world was spinning fast Two kids in love, just hoping it would last Uniform pressed, a quick "I do" was said Signed a little house, started life ahead Didn't have a map, didn't have a clue Just a heart full of dreams and the chance of me and you [Chorus] Oh, what a life we built from a leap of faith Through every storm and every golden day Love, joy, and strength, a family that grew Fifty-seven years, and I'd still choose you [Verse 2] You raised two little boys into honest men Stood beside me through the where and when Your beautiful heart held us all in place The kind of love no time could ever erase Now eight grandkids running 'round the floor Echoes of the home we were building back before [Chorus] Oh, what a life we built from a leap of faith Through every storm and every golden day Love, joy, and strength, a family that grew Fifty-seven years, and I'd still choose you [Bridge] Cindy, my girl, my forever, my friend Still the same hand I'm holding in the end [Verse 3] If I could go back to that nervous boy of mine I'd whisper, "Son, she's worth every line" Every quiet morning, every dance we'd share Every prayer, every laugh, every answered care Cindy, you're the song my whole heart sings The best yes I ever gave to anything [Chorus] Oh, what a life we built from a leap of faith Through every storm and every golden day Love, joy, and strength, a family that grew Fifty-seven years, and I'd still choose you [Outro] Cindy, my love, still dancing slow Wherever you are is the only home I know
