Still My Steady Flame

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two young kids on a college green, Not much money, not much seen, Just a promise and a ring, And the wildest dreams of everything. The day I walked across that stage, You wrote your name on my next page. [Chorus] Fifty years of holding on, Through the seasons, right and wrong, Every mile that we have crossed, Every joy and every loss. Oh Neal, you're still my steady flame, And I would choose it all again. [Verse 2] Married housing, thin and small, But we had each other, that was all. Once a week our little date, Sonic burgers, feeling great. We built a life from almost none, And somehow, love, we won. [Chorus] Fifty years of holding on, Through the seasons, right and wrong, Every mile that we have crossed, Every joy and every loss. Oh Neal, you're still my steady flame, And I would choose it all again. [Bridge] A son, two girls, they filled our door, Then six sweet grandkids, and so much more. Retirement came, the work was done, But the best of us had just begun. [Verse 3] Now I look across the room, At the man I chose in bloom, Gray in your hair, gold in your eyes, Strength that carried us through the skies. Grateful, Neal, for all we made, This family love that never fades. [Chorus] Fifty years of holding on, Through the seasons, right and wrong, Every mile that we have crossed, Every joy and every loss. Oh Neal, you're still my steady flame, And I would choose it all again. [Outro] From that green to golden days, Still in love, still amazed. Fifty years, and my heart still sings, You gave me everything.
