Ninety-Five Candles

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On the day we met, I opened up a door, Never knew a friendship could mean so much more. You reached for a hand, and I was there to stay, Then your gentle wisdom lit my darkest day, Dorothy, you showed me a truer way. [Chorus] Oh, what a life, what a story to tell, Ninety-five years and you're wearing them well. Faith like a river, love like the son, Dorothy Boling, look how far you've come. Blessed by His grace, a legacy of love. [Verse 2] Born to Hardy and Ethel, first of their name, September's sweet daughter, and heaven's own flame. Six precious children you raised on your own, Now they stand tall, every seed you have sown, Strength in your spirit, faith carried you home. [Chorus] Oh, what a life, what a story to tell, Ninety-five years and you're wearing them well. Faith like a river, love like the son, Dorothy Boling, look how far you've come. Blessed by His grace, a legacy of love. [Bridge] Evening conversations, laughter in the air, A Port Arthur friend who will always be there. You gave the world your wisdom and your light, And God has held you gently through the night. [Verse 3] Ninety-five candles, but the flame won't fade, Every prayer whispered, every sacrifice made. Your family's a testimony, tender and strong, And I'm forever grateful I sang in your song, Dorothy, my friend, this is where I belong. [Chorus] Oh, what a life, what a story to tell, Ninety-five years and you're wearing them well. Faith like a river, love like the son, Look how far, my friend, you have come. Blessed by His grace, a legacy of love. [Outro] Happy birthday, dear Dorothy, shine on, Your love and your faith will forever live on.
