Billie Jo

I still remember those high school days

Catching your eye in the hallway maze

Just a couple kids with a spark in our eyes

Underneath those Friday night skies

From a teenage date to a lifelong vow

I loved you back then, and I love you right now

Oh, Billie Jo, it’s been forty years

Through the sweetest of days and the happy tears

You’ve got a heart that has room for us all

You're the first one to run when somebody calls

From a high school dream to a golden ring

You're the very best part of everything

Life is so great, and the reason I know

Is I get to live it with Billie Jo

I watch how you care for the people you meet

You pour out your soul and you make life sweet

You never hold back, you just give them your light

You make the heavy days feel sunny and bright

Four decades of waking up by your side

It's been one beautiful, wonderful ride

Oh, Billie Jo, it’s been forty years

Through the sweetest of days and the happy tears

You’ve got a heart that has room for us all

You're the first one to run when somebody calls

From a high school dream to a golden ring

You're the very best part of everything

Life is so great, and the reason I know

Is I get to live it with Billie Jo

Time has a way of just slipping on past

But we built a love that was made to last

I wouldn't trade a single day we've spent

You're the greatest blessing that heaven sent

Oh, Billie Jo, it’s been forty years

Through the sweetest of days and the happy tears

You’ve got a heart that has room for us all

You're the first one to run when somebody calls

From a high school dream to a golden ring

You're the very best part of everything

Life is so great, and the reason I know

Is I get to live it with Billie Jo
