The Blue of Madeline's Eyes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifteen and the world was wide open, Summer nights and songs on the breeze, I didn't know yet what love was, 'Til a laugh drifted over to me. Then I looked and I finally saw them— Those blue eyes that captured my soul. [Chorus] Oh Maddie, you're my forever, Forty-one years I've called you mine, Through every season together, You've been my steady, my sunshine. Your laughter's good for the soul, my love, And I'll follow it all my life. [Verse 2] Two babies grew into a family, Five grandchildren dance at our feet, And "Moochiegras," your daddy's sweet name, Still makes you smile in the evening. You've got the softest heart for the older, The gentlest hands I've ever known. [Chorus] Oh Maddie, you're my forever, Forty-one years I've called you mine, Through every season together, You've been my steady, my sunshine. Your laughter's good for the soul, my love, And I'll follow it all my life. [Bridge] Warm winter shores where the whole world met us, Friends we made beneath island skies, Wherever we go, I'll always find home In the blue of Madeline's eyes. [Verse 3] Forty-eight years since I first knew you, And the story keeps writing itself, Your strength has carried us through it, Your love the truest kind of wealth. No occasion, no reason I need, girl— Just because, I'm loving you still. [Chorus] Oh Maddie, you're my forever, Forty-one years I've called you mine, Through every season together, You've been my steady, my sunshine. [Outro] So laugh, my love, let it fill up the room, 'Cause I'm yours 'til the end of time.
