Lady On The Forty-Five

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When the world was heavy on our shoulders Two hearts searching through the rain We were bruised and broken, barely holding on But something whispered, "Love will come again" It was nineteen seventy-eight And fate had other plans in store [Chorus] Through the highs and lows, we held on tight Forty years of love, and we're still burning bright You're my shelter, you're my steady ground In your arms is where my home is found Oh, this love was built to last Every chapter, every storm we've passed [Verse 2] Three years dancing close then drifting Finding our way back every time Then we took the leap, moved in together Five years knowing you were mine Toby, when I saw your smile I knew heaven sent you down the aisle [Chorus] Through the highs and lows, we held on tight Forty years of love, and we're still burning bright You're my shelter, you're my steady ground In your arms is where my home is found Oh, this love was built to last Every chapter, every storm we've passed [Bridge] You came home from a war that left its scars Put a forty-five on and played our song Little River Band singing "Lady" in the dark Toby, that's the night I knew where I belonged [Verse 3] Now we watch our son build his own story A daughter-in-law who feels like ours Two little grandsons with your eyes, your laughter Proof that love grows wild beneath the stars Toby, look at what we've made From two broken hearts to this parade [Chorus] Through the highs and lows, we held on tight Forty years of love, and we're still burning bright You're my shelter, you're my steady ground In your arms is where my home is found Oh, this love was built to last Every chapter, every storm we've passed [Outro] Still my lady, still your man Toby, here I am, right here holding your hand
