Golden Acres, Golden Years

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nineteen seventy-five, a friend brought us near, Country dances, bonfires, laughter through the years, A boy and his girls all dancing in the sand, Then one summer evening, you took hold of my hand. [Chorus] Oh Mark, my Mark, all these golden years, Through the ranch and the roses, the joy and the tears, I loved your boys like they were my own, Together, my darling, we built us a home. [Verse 2] Nineteen seventy-eight, you made me your bride, Shasta Lake and fishing lines beneath a summer sky, Golden Acres calling, horses in the field, Goats and chickens, honest work, the love that we would build. [Chorus] Oh Mark, my Mark, all these golden years, Through the ranch and the roses, the joy and the tears, I loved your boys like they were my own Together, my darling, we built us a home. [Bridge] Neil and Heather, Shawn and Chris, Little League and summer bliss, Now Dorian and Seth run wild and free, Every blessing traces back to you and me. [Verse 3] Toots and Utah, Bugsy by our door, Faithful hearts that walk with us no more, Now Ziva runs through Idaho pines, Sweet loyal shadows, yours and mine. [Verse 4] From California hills to Idaho skies, Hand in hand we wandered, and you're still mine, Through every quiet morning, every setting sun, Mark McDermott, you're the one. [Chorus] Oh Mark, my Mark, all these golden years, Through the ranch and the roses, the joy and the tears, I loved your boys like they were my own Together, my darling, we built us a home. [Outro] So here's to the road that we still ride, Mark, forever, right by my side.
