Ruby in the Fields of Gold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a kind of man they don't make anymore Hands that built a life, heart that gave us more Working from the sunrise, every single day Carrying his family in the truest way Almost seventy winters, still standing strong and true A father, a husband, with love that pulls us through [Chorus] Here's to you, the steady and the kind Here's to all the years, the love, the climb Three daughters call you Dad, and the world calls you friend A legacy of love that will never end This one's for you, with every word we say Happy Father's Day [Verse 2] Frankie, Natalie, and Jodie know your name And little Rae, your shining light, your flame You raised her like your own, gave her wings to fly Five grandsons running wild beneath your sky You've crossed the seven seas, made brothers everywhere But home is where you've always loved to share [Chorus] Here's to you, the steady and the kind Here's to all the years, the love, the climb Three daughters call you Dad, and the world calls you friend A legacy of love that will never end This one's for you, with every word we say Happy Father's Day [Bridge] And Ruby's still beside you in the fields of gold A faithful shadow that your heart will hold [Verse 3] So thank you, Ade, for every quiet thing For all the strength and joy your love can bring We'll love you forever, that's a sacred vow The man you've always been, the man you are now [Chorus] Here's to you, Adrian, steady and kind Here's to all the years, the love, the climb A legacy of love that will never end This one's for you, today [Outro] Happy Father's Day, Ade Forever and always, we love you this way
