Green Lights and Lucky Days

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Green lights and a lucky day, March seventeenth, we found our way. A booth for two, a simple start, Two strangers trading half a heart. Then all at once the room got bright, You laughed and made the whole world right. [Chorus] Oh Lauretta, you're my joy, The brightest thing these eyes employ. Through every storm and lonely mile, You held it down with that sweet smile. Lauretta, my heart, my home, No matter where, I'm never alone. [Verse 2] Three years later, same March date, I said "I do," I thanked my fate. We built a family, blended, strong, You carried love when I was gone. Three long deployments, months and seas, You kept the kids, you kept the keys. [Chorus] Oh Lauretta, you're my joy, The brightest thing these eyes employ. Through every storm and lonely mile, You held it down with that sweet smile. Lauretta, my heart, my home, No matter where, I'm never alone. [Bridge] Twelve years of tides that came and went, Every hour was time well spent. Courage in your gentle hands, The bravest woman that I stand. [Verse 3] You work so hard for all you've earned, And every lesson, love, we learned. No sailor's sea, no distant coast, Could dim the woman I love most. So here's my song, no special day — Just 'cause you take my breath away. [Chorus] Oh Lauretta, you're my joy, The brightest thing these eyes employ. Through every storm and lonely mile, You held it down with that sweet smile. My heart, my home, my everything, For you, forever, I will sing. [Outro] So raise a glass this lucky night, You're still my green and gold, my light.
