My Margee

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Dear Margee, I'm writin' this letter tonight, To tell you you're the love of my life, holdin' on tight. We met at Disneyland, under those magic lights, Fell for your laugh, girl, it set my heart right. Fifty-two years, we ain't looked back since, Great times and kids, through the thick and the thin. Life turned out better than I ever dreamed, With you by my side, darlin', we're a hell of a team. (Chorus) You're like my mornin' coffee, strong and bold, I need you every day, more than stories told. You give me the strength to fight through the pain, Without you, sweetheart, I'd just fade away. I'll never let you go, no matter the fight, You're my forever, my day and my night. (Verse 2) Then came that crash on that mountain bike ride, Broke my back bad, thought I'd never survive. Docs said I'd never walk, left me near dead, But losin' you, Margee, that filled me with dread. I pushed through the hurt, built these muscles anew, 'Cause the thought of not holdin' you, I couldn't go through. Might not get better, maybe a little worse, But with you near me, it's worth every curse. (Chorus) You're like my mornin' coffee, strong and bold, I need you every day, more than stories told. You give me the strength to fight through the pain, Without you, sweetheart, I'd just fade away. I'll never let you go, no matter the fight, You're my forever, my day and my night. (Bridge) Your laughter takes me back to that Disneyland day, I'm still the man you married, in this old body's cage. Seventy-two years young, trapped but feelin' alive, We got more years to laugh, hold on, and thrive. Maybe sell some wine, make a buck or two, No matter what comes, I'll always be true to you. (Outro) Dear Margee, through the good and the bad, I'll be with you forever, the best love I've had. I love you more now than I ever did then, My mornin' coffee, my lover, my friend.
