Still Not Enough Decembers

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love stories start with a spark A glance across a crowded room But some begin where faith leads the heart On a cold December afternoon A congregation meeting in St. John's Two hearts found where they belong [Chorus] Fifty-five years of holding on Through every storm, through every song A love that's steady, a love that's strong Faithful and true the whole way long This is a love you can't make up Fifty-five years and still not enough [Verse 2] She was twenty-three, he was eighteen Young and brave enough to say "I do" December twelfth, nineteen seventy Eric and Myrtle, the world was new Then Krysta came and filled the house with light And Kent came along and made it right [Chorus] Fifty-five years of holding on Through every storm, through every song A love that's steady, a love that's strong Faithful and true the whole way long This is a love you can't make up Fifty-five years and still not enough [Bridge] From the shores of Newfoundland To the roads of Europe hand in hand Down to Florida in the sun Loving, witty, fun People of integrity and devoted to each other There has never been another love like this one [Verse 3] Myrtle's dancing like she's twenty still That quick wit cutting through the room Eric's steady wisdom, gentle and real A charm that puts the stars to shame by the moon Their door was always open wide A place of laughter, love, and light inside Eric and Myrtle, side by side Your courage and your faith have been our guide [Chorus] Fifty-five years of holding on Through every storm, through every song A love that's steady, a love that's strong Faithful and true the whole way long This is a love you can't make up Fifty-five years and still not enough [Outro] So here's to the laughter, here's to the years Here's to the friends who wipe away tears Eric and Myrtle, we treasure you so The best is still to come, and we just want you to know
