Still The Spark, Ida

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There in the garage before the party filled the room A toga and a Stetson by the keg that Halloween Your blonde hair and your blue eyes shadowed underneath the brim I didn't know the Lord yet but He already knew His plan [Chorus] Forty-five years and I still feel the spark Every time you're in my arms it lights up the dark A love this deep, only heaven could design Thank God He gave me you, and you've been mine [Verse 2] You carried our first son with a courage I can't name Then three more came along and you never once complained Ida, you held this family like a prayer held in your hands With a faith in Jesus stronger than these bones could understand [Chorus] Forty-five years and I still feel the spark Every time you're in my arms it lights up the dark A love this deep, only heaven could design Thank God He gave me you, and you've been mine [Bridge] It's not the face the world sees that takes my breath away It's the beauty burning deep inside you every single day Faithful to our Lord and faithful here to me Ida, you're the greatest gift I'll ever receive [Verse 3] There's electricity that rushes when I pull you close After all these years you're still the one I need the most Four kids grown and standing on the roots that we have laid Every blessing in this life traces back to the choice we made [Chorus] Forty-five years and I still feel the spark Every time you're in my arms it lights up the dark A love this deep, only heaven could design Thank God He gave me you, Ida, you've been mine [Outro] Blue eyes in a garage changed everything And I'd do it all again with this golden ring
