Sixty-One Springs

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Springtime came in sixty-five, Two young hearts and hope alive. A soldier's hand, a whispered vow, Same steady love I feel right now. Through all the years, we've held on tight, Walking together, day and night. [Chorus] Oh Odell, my favorite one, My steady love, my rising sun. Sixty-one springs, still burning bright, You're the joy that fills my life. With every breath, I'm loving you, Thank you for all the things you do. [Verse 2] You crossed an ocean, brave and true, Came home to me, we started new. Two little girls, a house of grace, Your gentle smile on every face. Now grandbabies come running near, To find the man they all hold dear. [Chorus] Oh Odell, my favorite one, My steady love, my rising sun. Sixty-one springs, still burning bright, You're the joy that fills my life. With every breath, I'm loving you, Thank you for all the things you do. [Bridge] Four little girls call you their own, And great-grands fill our happy home. A father, grandpa, faithful and strong, You've been my heart this whole life long. [Verse 3] The years have made our love grow deep, Stronger than promises we keep. And if I had it all to do, I'd choose again to walk with you. Odell, my soldier, my heart's delight, I'd love you through a thousand nights. [Chorus] Oh Odell, my favorite one, My steady love, my rising sun. Sixty-one springs, still burning bright, You're the joy that fills my life. With every breath, I'm loving you, Thank you for being you. [Outro] Same springtime love, still holding true, Odell, forever, me and you.
