Ocean-Eyed Devotion

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A girl in a hot pink dress, A boy in a borrowed suit, Two broken hearts at a workplace, Both too scared to tell the truth. "Excuse me, you're in my way," And one look at those eyes so blue— I knew right then, oh Den, That I would marry you. [Chorus] Forty years I've been in your way, And I'd do it all again. You're my ocean-eyed devotion, You're my everything, my Den. Through the good and through the storm, You kept your promise true. From the old woman with the sad smile— Oh, I'm still in love with you. [Verse 2] We called it a summer fling, Sold it all and followed you home. A little house in Seaside, By the beach we made our own. One night at the Pink Flamingo, A logger's heart, so brave, Then little Patrick came along— Oh, the family that we made. [Chorus] Forty years I've been in your way, And I'd do it all again. You're my ocean-eyed devotion, You're my everything, my Den. Through the good and through the storm, You kept your promise true. From the old woman with the sad smile— Oh, I'm still in love with you. [Bridge] You stood beside me through the fight, In sickness and in health, You worry home down every mile— You're worth more than all the wealth. [Verse 3] From Missouri roads you're driving, And I worry you home each day, Grateful for your steady hands, For the vows you never broke away. So from this old woman smiling To the man who keeps me strong: Dennis, you're my everything— You've been my whole life long. [Outro] Forty years, and still I say, My precious ocean blue, Oh Den, my love, my everything— I'm still in your way, for you.
