Thirty-Seven Years of Golden Dust

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some nights start and never end Two hearts talking like old friends A first date lasting till the dawn Something said just hold on April came with rings and vows A secret only one soul knew somehow [Chorus] Thirty-seven years of golden dust Through every storm we learned to trust My turtle dove, my lemon peel You're every prayer that heaven made real I'd walk this road a thousand times Just to call you mine [Verse 2] Packed your bags, you didn't know Where this love was gonna go Landed somewhere warm and blue Hawaii skies for me and you Three little hearts were waiting home Loretta, we were building more than stone [Chorus] Thirty-seven years of golden dust Through every storm we learned to trust My turtle dove, my lemon peel You're every prayer that heaven made real I'd walk this road a thousand times Just to call you mine [Bridge] We've cheered beneath those stadium lights Notre Dame on autumn nights Won and lost but side by side Loretta Schaefer, you're my pride [Verse 3] We raised those kids through joy and tears Grew a family across the years There were valleys, there were hills But your hand steadied all the chills I don't know what I'd do alone You turned this wandering heart to home [Chorus] Thirty-seven years of golden dust Through every storm we learned to trust My turtle dove, my lemon peel You're every prayer that heaven made real I'd walk this road a thousand times Just to call you mine [Outro] Loretta, here's to all we've been And every year we'll love again
