Gert in Paris

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sixty candles on the cake Gert walks in, he's wide awake Coffee first, then comes the grin Ready for the day he's in A man of missions, map in hand Crossed the miles, he made his stand With his wife beside him strong Two kids singing all day long [Pre-Chorus] From home to Paris, what a ride Heart so big it can't hide One dog running at his feet Making every day complete [Chorus] Gert, Gert, raise your glass Sixty years, and still first class France in the air, love at the table Gert, Gert, blessed and able Gert, Gert, what a life Coffee steam and family light Missions done, and joy stays near Gert, Gert, sixty here [Verse 2] Fresh bread, cheese, and morning gold Stories told that never grow old He knows how to savor slow Every good thing starts with "bonjour" Wife laughs and the children cheer Dog is circling, drawing near This is home, this is the song Where every small sweet thing belongs [Pre-Chorus] From home to Paris, what a ride Heart so big it can't hide One dog running at his feet Making every day complete [Chorus] Gert, Gert, raise your glass Sixty years, and still first class France in the air, love at the table Gert, Gert, blessed and able Gert, Gert, what a life Coffee steam and family light Missions done, and joy stays near Gert, Gert, sixty here [Bridge] Here’s to the roads you have walked The prayers you kept, the way you talked Here’s to the meals and morning brew And all the love that grew and grew [Final Chorus] Gert, Gert, raise your glass Sixty years, and still first class France in the air, love at the table Gert, Gert, blessed and able Gert, Gert, what a life Coffee steam and family light Wife, two kids, one loyal friend Joy like this will never end
