Whiskey in a Tea Cup

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sixteen years old in a Bullard hall, Caught her smile and I gave my all, Girl next door with a light in her eyes, Stole my heart and I won her in kind. Fifty-eight years from that very first day, Still my sweetheart in every way. [Chorus] "All you have to do is believe," "Always trust your cape," she'd say to me. Through every mile, through every year, Heaven sent an angel here. She's the gift, she's the song I sing, She's the joy in everything. [Verse 2] Dancing down the grocery aisle, Singing words she's making up wild, Whiskey in a tea cup, sweet and strong, My Rebecca, where I belong. Sarah and Ellen, our greatest pride, Built a life with her by my side. [Chorus] "All you have to do is believe," "Always trust your cape," she'd say to me. Through every mile, through every year, Heaven sent an angel here. She's the gift, she's the song I sing, She's the joy in everything. [Bridge] Can't outwork her, can't out friend her too, Marty, darlin', I'm humbled by you. Montana skies and European trains, Every memory whispers your name. [Verse 3] If God is listening, hear my plea, Let her stay one day longer than me. 'Cause when my final story is told, Her face is the light I'll hold. Marty, my forever, my home, my view, Every breath I have belongs to you. [Chorus] "All you have to do is believe," "Always trust your cape," you said to me. Through every mile, through every year, Heaven sent my angel here. [Outro] Whiskey in a tea cup, sweet and true, Marty, my love, I thank God for you.
