Yes to It

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifty years since I first knew My best friend's brother had eyes of blue A quiet man with a working soul Who mowed the lawns and made me whole Fireworks lit that summer sky The bicentennial, you and I [Chorus] Oh Steven, you gave me a life More than a husband, more than a wife Through every mile and every year Your steady hand has kept me here A love that never learned to quit Steven, thank God I said yes to it [Verse 2] From paper routes to restaurant halls You built your way and answered calls Twenty-four years the city knew A man who saw his good work through We waited ten long years to see Our Cindy come and make us three [Chorus] Oh Steven, you gave me a life More than a husband, more than a wife Through every mile and every year Your steady hand has kept me here A love that never learned to quit Steven, thank God I said yes to it [Bridge] Forty-seven states we roamed From Egypt's sands back to our home Now a house beside the lake so wide And two sweet girls who beam with pride [Verse 3] Caroline and Joanna know The kind of man who won't sit slow You "retired," then went right back 'Cause resting never was your knack Your perseverance, strong and true Is the legacy I found in you [Chorus] Oh Steven, you gave me a life More than a husband, more than a wife Through every mile and every year Your steady hand has kept me here A love that never learned to quit Thank God, my love, I said yes to it [Outro] Fifty years and still we stand Fireworks and your gentle hand Forever grateful, forever true Steven, I'd say yes to you
