PATTY GREEN

[Verse 1]
A winter party, cold January air,
I turned my head and found you standing there.
All that you'd done, the life you'd built so true,
I knew right then my heart belonged to you.

[Chorus]
Oh Patty, my love, my sweet Pattycakes,
You're the joy in my morning, the vow that I make.
Through all of my life you're the one I can't lose,
Forty-four years, and I'd still choose you.

[Verse 2]
A clown at the hospital, balloons in the air,
A message that floated right up to your care.
You picked the yes, and my heart nearly burst,
Then a diamond on a string—my love came first.

[Chorus]
Oh Patty, my love, my sweet Pattycakes,
You're the joy in my morning, the vow that I make.
Through all of my life you're the one I can't lose,
Forty-four years, and I'd still choose you.

[Bridge]
In white I rode back on a mostly-white horse,
Lifted you up, changed our whole course.
One deep sweet kiss beneath moon and stars—
The first of the many that made you all ours.

[Verse 3]
Now seventy-eight, and I'm dreaming again,
Of forty-four more with my wife and my friend.
The love of my life that I can't live without,
Patty Green, you're what my heart's all about.

[Chorus]
Oh Patty, my love, my sweet Pattycakes,
You're the joy in my morning, the vow that I make.
Through all of my life you're the one I can't lose,
Forty-four years, and I'd still choose you.

[Outro]
So dance with me, darling, under the stars,
Forever together, right where we are.
