The Man With Kind Blue Eyes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back in seventy-nine, a summer night, Dave and Elaine, the stars shone bright Two kids who didn't know what was in store One look, one smile, and we couldn't ask for more He took my hand, took my car note too Quiet love, the kind that pulls you through [Chorus] Here's to the man with the kind blue eyes The steady heart, the gentle pride Forty-six years and still my best friend Always and forever, till the very end Raise a glass, let the country band play This one's for you, sweet Dave [Verse 2] November first, nineteen, I said yes September came, white lace and happiness Eighty-nine we built our house from the ground Zac in my arms, love all around Then came Tanesha, our little girl You gave us everything, you gave us the world [Chorus] Here's to the man with the kind blue eyes The steady heart, the gentle pride Forty-six years and still my best friend Always and forever, till the very end Raise a glass, let the country band play This one's for you, sweet Dave [Bridge] Daddy's girl, daddy's boy, grandkids too Every soul that meets you loves you Last in line, but first in every heart [Verse 3] You worked third shift, watched the kids, and built my shop at home Now at sixty-eight, it's your turn to rest your weary bones Now the workdays close, the porch light's on A brand new chapter, a sweeter song Fishing poles, slow mornings, time to roam Welcome, my Dave, welcome home [Chorus] Here's to the man with the kind blue eyes The steady heart, the gentle pride Forty-six years and still my best friend Always and forever, till the very end Raise a glass, let the country band play This one's for you, sweet Dave [Outro] Handsome soul, my always and forever friend I'd choose you again, and again I love you, always and forever
