Blue Angora, Forty-Nine Winters

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some nights the past comes calling soft Like snow against the pane A crowded room, a countdown clock And laughter like the rain You wore a blue angora sweater And I couldn't look away [Chorus] Who would I be without you, Jo Just a boy with nowhere he could go You took my hand when the road was long You gave me your trust and made me strong Forty-nine years and I still know Who would I be without you [Verse 2] I asked you out, you told me no Your best friend liked me, so you said But you wrote your number down for me And it never left my head We were young without a dime to spend Just a promise and a prayer [Chorus] Who would I be without you, Jo Just a boy with nowhere he could go You took my hand when the road was long You gave me your trust and made me strong Forty-nine years and I still know Who would I be without you [Bridge] I told you darlin', we'll make it through You never asked me how You just packed your faith and followed me And look at us right now [Verse 3] Three daughters grown with your kind heart Your courage in their eyes Their own homes filled with children now And Mimi's loving cries We gave this life everything we had And darlin', we made it [Chorus] Who would I be without you, Jo Just a man with nowhere he could go You held our family through every storm You kept this old house safe and warm Forty-nine years and I still know Who would I be without you [Outro] If I could go back to that New Year's night I'd ask you all over again And pray this time you'd say yes Who would I be without you
