Chocolate Shakes and Summer Stars

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a jukebox playin' somewhere In the back of my mind tonight Chocolate shakes and a summer breeze Neon humming, stars so bright Seventeen with a carhop tray And a boy behind the counter smiled my way [Chorus] And oh, what a love we made From a drive-in dream that wouldn't fade Through every mile, through every year Somehow you always brought me here Still the only one I see Still the only one for me [Verse 2] Then the letter came, the uniform Just like your daddy wore Four long years on the restless waves And me back on the shore I wrote you words I wish I hadn't penned But love has a way of circling back again [Chorus] And oh, what a love we made From a drive-in dream that wouldn't fade Through every mile, through every year Somehow you always brought me here Still the only one I see Still the only one for me [Bridge] Denny, you came home and found me Like no time had passed between Two hearts that the world tried hard to keep apart [Verse 3] 56 years, two beautiful girls Eight grandkids runnin' wild Every wrinkle tells a story Every photograph, a mile It wasn't always easy, Denny, no But you're the only love I've ever known [Chorus] And oh, what a love we made From a drive-in dream that wouldn't fade Through every mile, through every year Somehow you always brought me here Still the only one I see Denny, you're still the one for me [Outro] From a chocolate shake to a lifetime, dear Look how far we've come from there
