Sixty Years Ago

Derek Ryan

Intro: Verse A blessed candle burning alights her golden band Her beads and Book of Prayer are resting in her hand He pulls a chair beside her to sit with her a while She turns her feeble body close to give him one last smile As he held her wedding finger softly he did say I remember when you said “I do” - seems like yesterday When you took my name that morning my heart did overflow And I still feel the way I did - sixty years ago Verse With a damp white cloth he soothes her his soul mate, his best friend Her suffering now is over, he knows this is the end She said “They're here to take me, it's time to say goodbye” One last breath, a gentle kiss, a tear falls from his eye As he held her wedding finger softly he did say I remember when you said “I do” - seems like yesterday When you took my name that morning my heart did overflow And I still feel the way I did - sixty years ago As he held her wedding finger softly he did say I remember when you said “I do” - seems like yesterday When you took my name that morning my heart did overflow And I still feel the way I did - sixty years ago Yes I still feel the way I did - sixty years ago
