Candlelight and Silent Night

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love rolls in like thunder Some love never says a word Mine came on a Christmas Eve In the sweetest hush I've heard While the church sang Silent Night You held out a ring, and I was yours [Chorus] Thirty-four years you've had my heart Steady when the ground would shake You love all of me, every part Through every give and every take I'd choose you over and over again My perfect love, my truest friend [Verse 2] We raised our kids, we raised our livestock Fed them all from dawn till dark When I was weak, Doug, you were stronger You kept burning like a spark Now you're Grandpa to the little ones Lord, you're good at loving hard [Chorus] Thirty-four years you've had my heart Steady when the ground would shake You love all of me, every part Through every give and every take I'd choose you over and over again My perfect love, my truest friend [Bridge] After thirty years, you said come ride with me So I left it all and took the open road And darlin', every mile beside you Is the greatest joy I've known [Verse 3] Oh, we miss those grandbabies' faces Wish the miles weren't quite so long But I'd never trade this highway Or this seat where I belong Doug, you're still that quiet man With a candle and a ring in your hand [Chorus] Thirty-four years you've had my heart Steady when the ground would shake You love all of me, every part Through every give and every take I'd choose you over and over again My perfect love, until the end [Outro] Silent night, holy night You still don't need a word I'd say yes again, Doug Over and over, yes again
