Fifty Years Came Calling

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some roads run long and winding Through seasons hard and gray Some hearts learn how to whisper What they used to say Then fifty years came calling And brought you back my way [Chorus] You're my second sunrise My porch light burning on A comfort when the night falls A reason for the dawn I don't need to be eighteen To know what's real and true I found my new beginning When I found my way to you [Verse 2] We both know about heartache We both have walked alone We've weathered quiet kitchens In houses not quite home But Mary, when you're laughing Those curls bounce in the light You brighten every corner And make the whole room right [Chorus] You're my second sunrise My porch light burning on A comfort when the night falls A reason for the dawn I don't need to be eighteen To know what's real and true I found my new beginning When I found my way to you [Bridge] We're young where it matters Still dreamers at the core We've got a lot of living left And love worth living for [Verse 3] I see the way you care for folks The kindness in your smile You make a stranger feel at home And stay a little while So Mary, take my hand tonight Let's dance like we were young Our story's just beginning The best is yet to come [Chorus] You're my second sunrise My porch light burning on A comfort when the night falls A reason for the dawn I don't need to be eighteen To know what's real and true I found my new beginning And forever starts with you [Outro] Fifty years and a lifetime Brought me back to you Mary, my sweet sunrise I'm yours the whole way through
