Fifty-Seven Years

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifty-seven years we walked Through every joy and every storm Your hands were steady, your heart was warm A gentle man, so kind and strong Everyone who knew you leaned upon your love You never judged, you rose above [Chorus] Oh June still whispers your name each night Holding the years, holding you tight Six children carry your gentle way Grateful for you, more every day Love of my life, you're never gone In every heart, you're living on [Verse 2] A father's laugh, a grandad's hand The kind of good few understand When troubles came, they'd come to you You'd sit and listen, see us through There's an empty chair where you would be But all your love still lives in me [Chorus] Oh June still whispers your name each night Holding the years, holding you tight Six children carry your gentle way Grateful for you, more every day Love of my life, you're never gone In every heart, you're living on [Bridge] When the quiet falls, I feel you near A comfort in the atmosphere Not really gone, just gone ahead With all the tender words you said [Verse 3] So June will keep your memory bright A candle burning through the night In children's smiles, in grandkids' eyes Your love's a sun that never dies Till I can hold your hand once more I'll thank the Lord for all you were [Chorus] Oh June still whispers your name each night Holding the years, holding you tight Six children carry your gentle way Grateful for you, more every day Love of my life, you're never gone In every heart, you're living on [Outro] Rest easy now, my dear, my friend Our love, it never has to end
