Seventy Winters, Seventy Springs

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love stories start like wildfire Some burn fast and fade away But every now and then two hearts ignite And the flame won't quit, come what it may Two kids from Chicago streets Found forever at just twenty years [Chorus] Seventy winters, seventy springs Through the laughter and the tears life brings One voice always talking, one standing strong and still A love like Jim and Claudette's always will Always will [Verse 2] He drove those armored trucks for decades Carried treasure through the years But the greatest thing he ever held Was her hand through joy and tears She raised those boys with gentle grace Put her whole heart in that place [Chorus] Seventy winters, seventy springs Through the laughter and the tears life brings One voice always talking, one standing strong and still A love like Jim and Claudette's always will Always will [Bridge] There came a storm that shook their world A loss no parent should endure But they held each other through the dark And their love became the cure [Verse 3] They traded Chicago snow for desert sun Started over, hand in hand He still talks enough for both of them She just smiles, she understands He loves her more than words can say And that's been true since their first day [Chorus] Seventy winters, seventy springs Through the laughter and the tears life brings One voice always talking, one standing strong and still A love like Jim and Claudette's always will Always will [Outro] Here's to ninety years of living And seventy of holding on Jim and Claudette, your love's the proof The best things carry on
