Red Hair and a Promise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back in sixty-six I saw a flame Red hair and a smile that stopped my name Something in my heart just knew right then I'd never be the same again Under movie stars in sixty-eight I asked her hand, I couldn't wait [Chorus] Through the good times and the grey Through the nights we knelt to pray Every sunrise, every storm You're the place that feels like home Love of my life, forever true I thank God He gave me you [Verse 2] Nineteen, saying vows that July day Too young said the world, but we knew the way Then Ronnie came and Kim not far behind A little family built on faith and time We raised them up with calloused hands On love and laughter, prayers and plans [Chorus] Through the good times and the grey Through the nights we knelt to pray Every sunrise, every storm You're the place that feels like home Love of my life, forever true I thank God He gave me you [Bridge] We lost what no parents ever should But Cindy, you stood where no one could Then a grandson's cry brought light once more Proof that love still finds a door [Verse 3] Now fifty-seven years have come and gone Your red hair's turned to white, mine's silver dawn But Cindy, when you smile I still can see That girl who took a chance on me We've built a legacy of faith and grace And I still thank the Lord I found your face [Chorus] Through the good times and the grey Through the nights we knelt to pray Every sunrise, every storm Cindy, you're forever home Love of my life, forever true I thank God He gave me you [Outro] Forever and ever, my darling, it's true Cindy, my heart always belonged to you
