Forty-Four Years of August

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty-four years down a winding road, Two young hearts and a love that grew bold. Eighteen summers, August skies so blue, We said forever, and forever held true. Through every season, every shore, I'd choose your hand a thousand times more. [Chorus] Oh my love, you're the song in me, The steady light, the harmony. Through the miles, through the years, Through the laughter and the tears, You're my home, my northern star, Wherever this old life takes us far. [Verse 2] When the uniform called me away, You held the home and the kids each day. Strong as the mountains, soft as the rain, Carrying courage through joy and through pain. Three little ones grew tall and free, Nine more blessings around your knee. [Chorus] Oh my love, you're the song in me, The steady light, the harmony. Through the miles, through the years, Through the laughter and the tears, You're my home, my northern star, Wherever this old life takes us far. [Bridge] Peggy, my Peggy, selfless and true, The world is brighter because of you. [Verse 3] You give and you give, never ask for your share, Wrapping our family in love and in prayer. Every grandchild's smile, every Sunday we share, Echoes your kindness, your beautiful care. Peggy, my forever, my one shining flame, I'd cross every lifetime to whisper your name. [Chorus] Oh my love, you're the song in me, The steady light, the harmony. Through the miles, through the years, Through the laughter and the tears, You're my home, my northern star, Wherever this old life takes us far. [Outro] Forty-four years, and I'm still falling too, Peggy, my darling, forever with you.
