Two Different Colored Socks

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Snow was falling soft that winter night Christmas carols, hearts so light Fifteen years old and silly as can be Traded socks with a friend, mismatched feet Walked into that meeting, shy and small Never knew that night would change it all [Chorus] He said, "I wanna sit by her" A country boy with a steady stare One light blue, one dark blue sock Started something time could never stop He's my cowboy, I'm his lady fair A love like ours is mighty rare [Verse 2] Jack and the Beanstalk, our very first date Home on time, Grandpa thought he was great Jack-and-Beanstalk dreams and a porch-light glow He taught me Jesus, taught my heart to grow Forgive first, always say "I love you" 'Cause you never know when the day is through [Chorus] John said, "I wanna sit by her" A country boy with a steady stare One light blue, one dark blue sock Started something time could never stop He's my cowboy, I'm his lady fair A love like ours is mighty rare [Bridge] Nine long years he was dreaming away Then one morning, he came back to stay "I think I've been sleeping," is all he said Thank the Lord above, my prayers were heard [Verse 3] Horseback rides and the campfire light Fishing lines beneath stars at night Fifty years of laughter, tears, and grace Raised our children, found our place What's easy is fun, what's fun is easy too John, every day I still choose you [Chorus] He said, "I wanna sit by her" A country boy with a steady stare One light blue, one dark blue sock Started something time could never stop He's my cowboy, I'm his lady fair A love like ours is mighty rare [Outro] Happy Father's Day, my love, my friend John, I'll love you till the very end
