The Candy Store Boy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Brooklyn streets and a candy store door Two kids who didn't know what was in store You pretended to sip my soda that day I got mad, but you smiled it away Brown-eyed boy with a troublemaker grin That's the moment our story begins [Chorus] Fifty years of holding on tight Through every storm and every light You've been my laughter, my home, my song The one I've loved all along Oh George, what a beautiful ride With you forever by my side [Verse 2] Riding 'round in that Volkswagen Bug 8-track playing, your hand in mine snug You traded the stage and the band you loved For a ring, three kids, and a life thereof Born and raised in Brooklyn NY Moved to Florida to start family [Chorus] Fifty years of holding on tight Through every storm and every light You've been my laughter, my home, my song The one I've loved all along Oh George, what a beautiful ride With you forever by my side [Bridge] Through the losses, through the tears You were strength across the years Still make me feel like I'm seventeen The most beautiful girl you've ever seen [Verse 3] That brown hair's silver, but the eyes still shine Still the kindest heart, still wholly mine The cars, the houses, the places we'd roam But the greatest treasure was building our home Everyone loves you, and now they see What you've always, always been to me [Chorus] Fifty years of holding on tight Through every storm and every light You've been my laughter, my home, my song The one I've loved all along Oh George, what a beautiful ride With you forever by my side [Outro] From a candy store to here and now Fifty years and I still don't know how But I'd do it all again with you
