Derek Ryan Sixty Years Ago song lyrics

A blessed candle burnin' lights her golden band

Her beads and book of prayers are resting in her hand

He pulls a chair beside her to sit with her a while

She turns her feable 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

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

I still feel the way I did sixty years ago
