Fifty More Years, Virginia

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a porch light burning soft tonight Old guitar humming, stars hanging bright I been thinking 'bout the road we've known Every mile of dirt, every seed we've sown The years rolled by like a country song And girl, you've been my whole life long [Chorus] I'll love you 'til the day I die Through every laugh and every cry You make me the man I want to be The best of who I'll ever be Here's to us, here's to forever true There ain't no me without you [Verse 2] Two beautiful kids and a hand-me-down ring A kitchen full of light, the songs we sing You held us close when the nights got long Made a house a home, made the weak grow strong Virginia, you're the steady in my hands The reason this whole family stands [Chorus] I'll love you 'til the day I die Through every laugh and every cry You make me the man I want to be The best of who I'll ever be Here's to us, here's to forever true There ain't no me without you [Bridge] Fifty more years, that's my prayer tonight Dancing slow in the kitchen light Virginia, darling, just hold on tight [Verse 3] So pour the wine and let the records play We got a lifetime more of yesterdays Gratitude pouring like an endless stream You're still my girl, you're still my dream Virginia, take my hand, let's go Wherever this old road may flow [Chorus] I'll love you 'til the day I die Through every laugh and every cry You make me the man I want to be The best of who I'll ever be Here's to us, here's to forever true There ain't no me without you [Outro] Just you and me beneath the sky Virginia, my whole life I'll love you 'til I die
