Love Notes in the Suitcase

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two strangers in a lab one day, Microscopes and dreams in the way, New York boy and a Chicago girl, Friendship slowly changed our world. A year of laughs before we knew, This was something rare and true. [Chorus] Oh, what a life we've built together, Through every season, every weather, Hand in hand, we walk the miles, Love notes tucked between the smiles. Fifty-one years and counting still, And I love you, Judie, always will. [Verse 2] Remember Seals and Crofts that night? I wrapped the tickets, you held tight, Thought a ring was waiting there, I blurted promises in the air. Took me 'til our 45th to kneel, With chamber music, vows, and steel. [Chorus] Oh, what a life we've built together, Through every season, every weather, Hand in hand, we walk the miles, Love notes tucked between the smiles. Fifty-one years and counting still, And I love you, Judie, always will. [Bridge] Fire alarms and Hey Jude playing, The whole town heard what I was saying, A castle in Kilmartin's glow, Our family gathered, hearts aglow. [Verse 3] Clara, Charlotte, Henry too, Eleanor, we FaceTime through, Poppy waits for morning light, You dance to Motown every night. Gain and Drew, Alyssa, Jillian, Our legacy, our love, our million. [Chorus] Oh, what a life we've built together, Through every season, every weather, Hand in hand, we walk the miles, Love notes tucked between the smiles. Fifty-one years and counting still, And I love you, Judie, always will. [Outro] From Chattanooga to Banner Elk skies, Forever yours, my Judie, my prize.
