Those Blue Eyes Won Me Over

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Seventy years have come and gone, Filled with laughter, filled with song. A blind date once, so long ago, Those blue eyes had me at hello. One look, and my heart was won, And forty years have just begun. [Chorus] Oh Jeff, my rock, my best friend, The kind of love that never ends. Through every storm you held me tight, My gentle leader, my guiding light. I'd choose you a million times, it's true, Thank God above He gave me you. [Verse 2] We built our homes, we built our name, Through joy and fear, you stayed the same. First came Brent to lead the way, Then Laura and Wade, our twins one day. And Claire came too, our hearts made four, Now ten more grandkids at the door. [Chorus] Oh Jeff, my rock, my best friend, The kind of love that never ends. Through every storm you held me tight, My gentle leader, my guiding light. I'd choose you a million times, it's true, Thank God above He gave me you. [Bridge] Granjeff, they call your name so sweet, Loved by all the lives you meet. Patient, kind, in every part, You carry us within your heart. [Verse 3] So here's to you this special day, For all the love you gave away. A father, husband, faithful friend, A legacy that will not end. Forty years, and still I'd say, I'd walk it all with you today. [Chorus] Oh Jeff, my rock, my best friend, The kind of love that never ends. Through every storm you held me tight, My gentle leader, my guiding light. I'd choose you a million times, it's true, Thank God above He gave me you. [Outro] Happy birthday, my love, my own, With you, this life has felt like home.
