Bright Yellow Shorts

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Autumn air and open fields, A younger heart began to run, I watched you cross that finish line, Bright yellow shorts beneath the sun. I didn't know that fleeting day Would grow into a lifelong grace. [Chorus] Oh, by faith we found this holy road, Hand in hand through joy and heavy load. Every prayer, every hope, every year, God was near, God was near. Love that only grew from up above, This is our unshakable love. [Verse 2] Diane, November came in '86, We knelt and gave our vows to God, Through Pennsylvania winters cold, Through Texas plains and Florida Sun. Three children raised in tender light, Now seven more, our hearts hold dear. [Chorus] Oh, by faith we found this holy road, Hand in hand through joy and heavy load. Every prayer, every hope, every year, God was near, God was near. Love that only grew from up above, This is our unshakable love. [Bridge] Diane, you are the rock we lean upon, The gentle strength that keeps us moving on. You'd give the world and never count the cost, In you, dear Diane, no one is ever lost. [Verse 3] Forty years and still you shine, The steady heart of all our days, You do for others, ask for none, A quiet altar of your praise. So here's my hand, still holding tight, Diane, my morning and my night. [Chorus] Oh, by faith we walked this holy road, Hand in hand through joy and heavy load. Every prayer, every hope, every year, God was near, God was near. Love that only grew from up above, You're my unshakable love. [Outro] From yellow shorts to silver years, Through all the laughter, all the tears, By faith, by hope, this love endures, Forever mine, forever yours.
