That Day at Jan's

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some stories start with just a glance, A quiet room, a lucky chance. I saw you standing there at Jan's, And something told me to take my chance. The world went still, the years began, Right then I became a better man. [Chorus] Oh Laurie, love of my life, My best friend, my wife, Sixty-four years of grace, And I still light up at your face. Happy birthday to my everything, You're the song my heart will always sing. [Verse 2] You're the best mother love could make, A steady heart no storm could shake. My wildthang, my baby snake, The grandkids' lala, worth every mile I'd take. We chase the hot rods down the street, Rock steady moves that never miss a beat. [Chorus] Oh Laurie, love of my life, My best friend, my wife, Sixty-four years of grace, And I still light up at your face. Happy birthday to my everything, You're the song my heart will always sing. [Bridge] Earth, Wind and Fire, a Boston tune, We're swimming underneath the moon. Bobbi Jo and Elaena, our pride, The finest daughters by our side. [Verse 3] Through all the family, all the years, The laughter and the happy tears, You caught me when I lost my way, And gave me light on every gray. So let's raise a glass and celebrate, The love that only grows more great. [Chorus] Oh Laurie, love of my life, My best friend, my wife, Sixty-four years of grace, And I still light up at your face. Happy birthday to my everything, You're the song my heart will always sing. [Outro] From that first day at Jan's I knew, Laurie, my forever's you. Happy birthday, love so true.
