Napkin in El Paso

Lyrics

[Verse 1] El Paso nights, the neon glow, A bartender with time to go slow. Then a napkin slid across the bar, A phone number, a wish upon a star. Little did I know that simple sign Would lead me to this life of mine. [Chorus] Julie, you're my everything, The steady heart, the song I sing. Through all the years, we're lucky, we're blessed, Standing strong through every test. She my "Love of a Lifetime," it's true, And every day I love more of you. [Verse 2] Ninety-one, we said "I do," Two little ones came shining through. Amber's laugh and Roddy's grin, The family we built, our world within. Your smile, your hair, your gentle grace, I find my home inside your face. [Chorus] Julie, you're my everything, The steady heart, the song I sing. Through all the years, we're lucky, we're blessed, Standing strong through every test. She my "Love of a Lifetime," it's true, And every day I love more of you. [Bridge] Florida shores and family days, The courage in your caring ways. Thirty-five years, still hand in hand, My Paby, the strongest I've ever known to stand. [Verse 3] Each year better than the last, We hold the future, bless the past. The ones we've loved, we still remember, Their light still glows like warm September. Whatever storms may come our way, I'll choose you, love, another day. [Chorus] Julie, you're my everything, The steady heart, the song I sing. Through all the years, we're lucky, we're blessed, Standing strong through every test. She my "Love of a Lifetime," it's true, And every day I love more of you. [Outro] Napkin in a bar, so long ago, And I love you more than you'll ever know.
