Ginger Ale and Blue Eyes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cold March wind on the city line, A crowded bar, nineteen eighty-five. A stranger's drink came my way, I asked for ginger ale that day. But those blue eyes wouldn't let me go, And somehow, deep down, I already know. [Chorus] I'm your brown-eyed girl in a country song, Forty years and still going strong. Through the laughter and the healing tears, You've been my comfort all these years. Marlon, my love, my steady hand, Together's the only life we planned. [Verse 2] You made me keep score at that Phillies game, Same birthday, seven years, still the same. On island sands, our honeymoon, Andrew, Brian, Erin came so soon. Two little boys just months apart, Then our sweet girl who won your heart. [Chorus] I'm your brown-eyed girl in a country song, Forty years and still going strong. Through the laughter and the healing tears, You've been my comfort all these years. Marlon, my love, my steady hand, Together's the only life we planned. [Bridge] Hardest worker I ever knew, Never missed a game, that's you. Every dance recital, you were there, A gentle dad with time to spare. Brando, Chase, and Moose all knew your care, A loving heart beyond compare. [Verse 3] Now twin girls light up the room, Grandbabies bringing us in bloom. We've loved and lost, we've held on tight, Prayed for health and cherished light. Still I choose you, Marlon, every day, Come travel the world and grow old my way. [Chorus] I'm your brown-eyed girl in a country song, Forty years and still going strong. Through the laughter and the healing tears, You've been my comfort all these years. [Outro] From that cold March day to now, I'd say "I do" all over, somehow.
