When the Purple Lights Come On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some hearts are built to carry light They hold the room, they hold us tight When someone needs a place to land She's there to listen, take their hand Cosette, you're sixty, shining through The best of us was learned from you [Chorus] So raise a glass, let the music play Sixty years of love on display You're the strength when the storms roll in The voice that guides us home again Here's to you, here's to every year Here's to all the love you've gathered here [Verse 2] Two sons who grew to be fine men And Dallas wagging once again Your siblings, aunts, and uncles near The nieces, nephews you hold dear Your mom would smile to see you now You kept her light, you kept her vow [Chorus] So raise a glass, let the music play Sixty years of love on display You're the strength when the storms roll in The voice that guides us home again Here's to you, here's to every year Here's to all the love you've gathered here [Bridge] And when the purple lights come on You're Army, singing every song Eight concerts in and going strong With V and JK, you belong [Verse 3] Old classmates still know your laugh True friends who walked the longer path Cosette, my love, my steady flame I'd choose this life, I'd choose your name I pray for health and strength to hold More years together, growing old [Chorus] So raise a glass, let the music play Sixty years of love on display You're the strength when the storms roll in The voice that guides us home again Here's to you, here's to every year Here's to more of them with me right here [Outro] Happy birthday, my Cosette Our best days haven't happened yet
