Seventy-Nine Years of Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a kind of love that grows with time Like a song that finds its perfect rhyme Built from laughter, built from years Built from joy that conquers tears A gentle soul, a steady hand The kindest heart in all the land [Chorus] Oh, today we celebrate you Every dream, every wish come true 79 years of grace and light Shining steady, shining bright Lift your glass, let the music play This is your beautiful day [Verse 2] Out on the water at the break of dawn Casting lines while the sun comes on Golf trips with the boys, those sacred days Painting life in a thousand ways An artist's eye, a father's pride A grampa's love you cannot hide [Chorus] Oh, today we celebrate you Every dream, every wish come true 79 years of grace and light Shining steady, shining bright Lift your glass, let the music play This is your beautiful day [Bridge] Russ, you treat me like a queen The sweetest love I've ever seen Through every storm you've stood so tall Joy in your heart through it all [Verse 3] Russ, my love, my steady flame The family rises with your name Resilient soul, creative fire You're everything we all admire So here's to you, the man, the gold The greatest story ever told [Chorus] Oh, today we celebrate you Every dream, every wish come true 79 years of grace and light Shining steady, shining bright Lift your glass, let the music play This is your beautiful day [Outro] Happy birthday, sweet Russ of mine Forever yours, through space and time Loved beyond what words can say This is your beautiful day
