Fifty-Two Years of Friday Nights

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifty-two years ago on a Friday night Neon signs and a hardwood floor A country band and the stars shined bright Walked in lonely, walked out yours A slow song played, you took my hand Started writing the story we still understand [Chorus] And it's just because, no reason at all Just because you've answered every call Through the highs, through the lows, through it all You're the reason that I'm standing tall Just because, I love you, that's all [Verse 2] We built a home and we filled it up With Marc and Katie's running feet Mornings of coffee in a worn-out cup Sunday porches, life felt complete Through every storm, you held the light A steady hand on the longest night [Chorus] And it's just because, no reason at all Just because you've answered every call Through the highs, through the lows, through it all You're the reason that I'm standing tall Just because, I love you, that's all [Bridge] When I was weak and the fever held on You slept beside me 'til the dark was gone Cried every tear that I couldn't cry Julie, you're the reason I'm still alive [Verse 3] Now the years roll soft like a country tune Grandkids laughing in the yard I still see that girl from the dance hall room And I thank God for every part Julie, my forever, my truest friend I'll choose you again and again [Chorus] And it's just because, no reason at all Just because you've answered every call Through the highs, through the lows, through it all You're the reason that I'm standing tall Julie, just because, I love you, that's all [Outro] Fifty-two years and I'm still that boy Holding your hand, holding all my joy Just because, Julie, that's all
