That Denver Night

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Denver night, a business trip Just one drink before I'd slip Away to meetings, ordinary plans Then she sat down, changed my life Curly hair and green-eyed light Shared her nachos, took me by the hand [Chorus] And oh, that smile gave me goosebumps That dance pulled me through A kiss beside the elevator Told me what was true Some loves arrive like lightning Some loves come to stay I knew right there, beyond all doubt I'd find my way [Verse 2] Trips to Canada through the snow Borders couldn't break the glow A country cabin, Finger Lakes, I knew On the sand in Ocean City I made vows so sweet and pretty Promised every road would lead to you [Chorus] And oh, that smile gave me goosebumps That dance still pulls me through A kiss beside the elevator Told me what was true Some loves arrive like lightning Some loves come to stay I knew right there, beyond all doubt I'd found my way [Bridge] Twenty-six years, thirty seas Built a life of memories Linda, you're still her, that girl I met that night [Verse 3] Now we're retired, side by side Same green eyes, the same soft pride Same incredible smile that steals my breath Linda, tears still fill my eyes Thinking how I might have missed The best night of my whole sweet life [Chorus] And oh, that smile still gives me goosebumps Still pulls me through Happy anniversary, my Linda My forever true I only wish I'd met you sooner Loved you one day more You're the love I'm living for [Outro] That Denver night, I'll always know Was where my whole heart learned to go
