Toward That Stair

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Summer job, so long ago, Two floors between us, don't you know. I worked up high, you down below, Had no good reason down to go. But something pulled me toward that stair— And God Himself was standing there. [Chorus] Oh, He brought us together, plain to see, Wrote a love that was always meant to be. Fifty-three years, and I still fall, For that big heart that gave me all. Grateful, joyful, faithful and true— Every day begins with you. [Verse 2] I was shy, could barely speak, My hands would tremble, knees went weak. But some strange courage filled my chest, I asked you out—you said the rest. Three and a half more years went by, Then you and I, we tied that tie. [Chorus] Oh, He brought us together, plain to see, Wrote a love that was always meant to be. Fifty-three years, and I still fall, For that big heart that gave me all. Grateful, joyful, faithful and true— Every day begins with you. [Bridge] Sandy, you're my dearest friend, The one I'll love until the end. Through every joy and every tear, Your gentle heart has kept me here. [Verse 3] Now the years have come and gone, And still our love keeps growing on. More today than yesterday, I thank the Lord you came my way. Sandy, comfort of my soul, You are the one that makes me whole. [Chorus] Oh, He brought us together, plain to see, Wrote a love that was always meant to be. Fifty-three years, and I still fall, For that big heart that gave me all. Grateful, joyful, faithful and true— Every day begins with you. [Outro] Sandy, love of all my life, My best friend, my faithful wife.
