Fifty-Nine Seasons

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two kids in a hallway, hearts still learning how We wrote a little promise, I can still hear now Through the college years, a ring and a vow Fifty-nine seasons later, look at where we are now [Chorus] Oh, it's love and kindness, holding through the years Every laugh, every prayer, every joyful tear Faith led us onward, and it carried us far Loc Reader, my darling, thank God for who you are [Verse 2] You said you'd never wear a badge, but life had other plans Thirty years of duty, gun and steady hands From deputy to chief, in that Seattle rain You served this world with honor, never once complained [Chorus] Oh, it's love and kindness, holding through the years Every laugh, every prayer, every joyful tear Faith led us onward, and it carried us far Loc Reader, my darling, thank God for who you are [Bridge] Three beautiful children, blessings from above You gave me the courage to chase a dream I loved Sent me back to school with a whisper, "You can be" That's the man you are, that's your heart to me [Verse 3] Now the days move slower, and the porch light's low Hand in mine, my sweetheart, still I love you so Hugs at every morning, "I love you" every night Fifty-nine years of dancing in your light [Chorus] Oh, it's love and kindness, holding through the years Every laugh, every prayer, every joyful tear Faith led us onward, and it carried us far Loc Reader, my darling, thank God for who you are [Outro] Here's to us forever, hand in hand we'll stay Loc, my love, my always — happy anniversary day
