The Gold Inside You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was just a backyard party Music playing soft and low Didn't say a word that evening But somehow my heart did know Through the noise and through the laughter Saw a man worth waiting for [Chorus] Fifty years of steady loving Fifty years of holding on Through the seasons, through the changes You've been here, you've been so strong Father, husband, my forever Every road has led me home [Verse 2] You were going through your storm then But I saw the gold inside Took a chance on something quiet Took your hand and took the ride Built a life with calloused fingers Worked the days from dawn till dark [Chorus] Fifty years of steady loving Fifty years of holding on Through the seasons, through the changes You've been here, you've been so strong Father, husband, my forever Every road has led me home [Bridge] Tony Davidson, my forever You gave more than words can say For our TJ and our JT You showed up in every way [Verse 3] Now we're standing in the sunset Looking back on all we've grown Every sacrifice you carried Every seed of love you've sown Happy Father's Day, my Tony Look at this fine legacy [Chorus] Fifty years of steady loving Fifty years of holding on Through the seasons, through the changes Tony, you have been so strong Father, husband, my forever Every road has led me home [Outro] Just a man at a party Just a glance, just a sign Thank you, Tony, for this lifetime For being mine, for being mine
