One Postcard, One Phone Call

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A Colorado mountain, snow beneath our feet Strangers in a ski line, hearts about to meet She scrambled for that gondola, my best man by my side Just a Nebraska boy with nowhere left to hide [Chorus] One postcard, one phone call, a promise on the line Bayou girl said yes to me, and time became ours to find Through every storm and every move, devoted, side by side You're my best friend, my forever, my heart's wide open sky [Verse 2] A year of miles between us, Louisiana to the plains I asked you on a phone call, you said yes through the static rain Three beautiful babies later, two grandbabies in our arms Strong-willed and stubborn lovers, holding tight to all that warms [Chorus] One postcard, one phone call, a promise on the line Bayou girl said yes to me, and time became ours to find Through every storm and every move, devoted, side by side You're my best friend, my forever, my heart's wide open sky [Bridge] Linds, your soul still hums a Louisiana song In Pacific Northwest evenings, that's where you belong [Verse 3] Tennis courts and garden beds, your laughter fills our home A mother and grandmother, the sweetest love I've known Thirty-eight years of forgiving, of choosing us again Lindsey, you're the answer to every prayer back when [Chorus] One postcard, one phone call, a promise on the line Bayou girl said yes to me, and time became ours to find Through every storm and every move, devoted, side by side You're my best friend, my forever, my heart's wide open sky [Outro] Lindsey, my baby, still that girl on the snow Still the only love I'll ever need to know
