A Summer in Sixty-Nine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back when the world was younger And the radio played slow Two hearts found one another With nowhere else to go A summer in sixty-nine The day my whole life changed Two kids with all the time And love we couldn't explain [Chorus] Oh, what a beautiful ride Side by side, you and I Through every laugh, every tear Every season, every year Thank God I found you then Thank God I'd do it again The sweetest love I've ever known You're my forever home [Verse 2] Seventy-three I took your hand And made you my wife Three boys, a house, a holy plan A blessed and busy life Through every storm that came our way Through every joy and pain Not one single solitary day Have I walked without your name [Chorus] Oh, what a beautiful ride Side by side, you and I Through every laugh, every tear Every season, every year Thank God I found you then Thank God I'd do it again The sweetest love I've ever known You're my forever home [Bridge] Sharlene, my Sharlene You're every dream I've seen The rhythm in my chest The reason I've been blessed [Verse 3] Now we've laid the work down The rocking chairs are ours Grandkids running all around Beneath these golden hours Sharlene, I'd choose you twice A thousand times again My first, my last, my whole life My lover and best friend [Chorus] Oh, what a beautiful ride Side by side, you and I Through every laugh, every tear Every season, every year Thank God I found you then Thank God I'd do it again The sweetest love I've ever known You're my forever home [Outro] Sharlene, my baby, my bride Forever here by my side
