My Schweet Pea True

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Friends in Pittsburgh, a large crowd, Never guessed I'd find my world so loud. Long red hair caught the light just right, Big brown eyes and I knew that night — Somethin' good was startin' out slow, A love I never would let go. [Chorus] Oh, thirty years of holdin' on, Through every storm we sang our song. The pillar standin' strong and true, Everything good in me is you. Rock steady, faithful, come what may — My darlin', you've been my whole way. [Verse 2] I fumbled the ring the day I asked, Watched it roll twenty-five feet fast. We laughed so hard, oh, what a start, But you still handed me your heart. "Ha hun what's for dinner," you'd say and grin, And I'd thank God for the life we're in. [Chorus] Oh, thirty years of holdin' on, Through every storm we sang our song. The pillar standin' strong and true, Everything good in me is you. Rock steady, faithful, come what may — My darlin', you've been my whole way. [Bridge] Sherry, my Schweet Pea, my heart's own home, You made me your Tator, I'm never alone. Life threw its trouble, we still pulled through, And I wonder how — then I look at you. [Verse 3] You kept this family warm and whole, The bravest, gentlest kind of soul. Lookin' back at that winding road, You carried more than your own load. Sherry, there's no one else I'd choose, Thirty years and I'd still say "I do." [Chorus] Oh, thirty years of holdin' on, Through every storm we sang our song. The pillar standin' strong and true, Everything good in me is you. Rock steady, faithful, come what may — My darlin', you've been my whole way. [Outro] Sherry, my love, my Schweet Pea true, Forever's just startin' with you.
