Twenty-Eight Octobers

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cookstown Tavern, karaoke night I had other plans in mind But Mama kept on calling Said come on out, you'll find Two weeks back I'd seen a stranger Cute enough to turn my head Then the door swung open slowly And there he stood instead [Chorus] Baby, my love, you're the song I sing The hazel-eyed wonder my heart calls king A huge bright smile and a gentleman's way Twenty-eight Octobers, and I'd choose you today [Verse 2] Sharon chased him to the parking lot While they called me to the stage He came back in and sat with Mama Bless his gentle ways Sharon laughed and pointed over "No, not her, it's HER!" He drove us home that starry evening Put Mama up in front [Chorus] Baby, my love, you're the song I sing The hazel-eyed wonder my heart calls king A huge bright smile and a gentleman's way Twenty-eight Octobers, and I'd choose you today [Bridge] "Baby, my love, Chuck" when I'm frustrated That is SO few, and far between You're my husband under God above The answer to every prayer between [Verse 3] Four grown children, one bonus blessing Family woven strong and true Through every storm we've stood together Chuck, I'm grateful for you Dark brown hair and that crooked grin Still makes my whole world spin From a tavern stage to forever Look how far we've been [Chorus] Baby, my love, you're the song I sing The hazel-eyed wonder my heart calls king A huge bright smile and a gentleman's way Twenty-eight Octobers, and I'd choose you today [Outro] Chuck, my forever, my answered prayer From karaoke nights to the rocking chair
