Cary

[Verse 1]
Back when the summer felt like forever young,
Just a boy of eighteen with a song unsung,
She was seventeen with a light in her eyes,
A country road and a wide-open sky.
I didn't know then what those days would grow,
But something in my heart already knew.

[Chorus]
Oh, all these years, still holding on tight,
Fifty-three summers and every good night,
Through all the seasons, the joy and the tears,
You're still my darlin' after all these years.

[Verse 2]
We married young with a hope and a prayer,
Barely grown ourselves with a life to share,
A little boy, then a girl came along,
You made a house feel just like a home.
Six little ones now call you their own,
And your love is the softest place they've known.

[Chorus]
Oh, all these years, still holding on tight,
Fifty-three summers and every good night,
Through all the seasons, the joy and the tears,
You're still my darlin' after all these years.

[Bridge]
Cary, when the world got heavy and gray,
You were always there, you never walked away.
Family first, that's the heart in you,
And oh, how I've been blessed to love you too.

[Verse 3]
Cary, there's no story I'd rather tell,
Than the one we're living, and living so well.
From a country road to a life so full,
You're the truest thing, you're beautiful.
And if I could, I'd do it all again,
From seventeen to now, my dearest friend.

[Chorus]
Oh, all these years, still holding on tight,
Fifty-three summers and every good night,
Through all the seasons, the joy and the tears,
You're still my darlin', Cary, after all these years.

[Outro]
Still my darlin', still my home,
Never once have I walked alone.
