Where the Leashes Tangle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two folks with a little gray Livin' quiet, day by day Thought our chapters had been told No one warns you love comes bold Then a gate swung open wide Dottie, you stood there beside [Chorus] Oh, who'd have known, who'd have guessed Life had saved its very best A brand new start at seventy You gave your heart, you gave it free Grateful, joyful, here I stand Holdin' onto your sweet hand [Verse 2] It started where the leashes tangle Sunlight at a friendly angle Dogs ran wild while we just talked Dottie, for hours we never walked And somewhere in that easy sound I knew that you were what I found [Chorus] Oh, who'd have known, who'd have guessed Life had saved its very best A brand new start at seventy You gave your heart, you gave it free Grateful, joyful, here I stand Holdin' onto your sweet hand [Bridge] Dottie, every mornin' shines 'Cause you greet me kind and true A loving welcome, soft and bright The whole world resets with you [Verse 3] One year gone in the blink of an eye Still I thank the lucky sky Dottie, girl, you are my song The one I waited all life long So here's to strength and years to come You're my home, my only one [Chorus] Oh, who'd have known, who'd have guessed Life had saved its very best A brand new start at seventy You gave your heart, you gave it free Grateful, joyful, here I stand Holdin' onto your sweet hand [Outro] Dottie, love, this much is true The rest of my days belong to you By that old gate where hearts run free You'll always be the one for me
