Bill

Down on Bond Alley, under the lights

We started out as strangers in the night

It only took three dates to finally see

That you were the only one for me

You’ve always been funny, so gentle and kind

The most caring husband a woman could find

With a good song playing on the radio dial

You looked my way and you made me smile

Oh, Bill, I've enjoyed our life together

Through every season and all kinds of weather

Sharing our music and the places we roam

As long as I'm with you, my heart is at home

We were strangers in the night, catching a spark

Now you're the melody that plays in my heart

We packed up our bags and we took to the road

Making sweet memories to lighten the load

Taking those trips down to Monterrey, Mexico

Watching the beautiful southern sun glow

Then off to New Orleans, walking the street

With the rhythm of jazz right under our feet

I was wrapped in that fur coat, holding your hand

Listening to the sound of a brass city band

Oh, Bill, I've enjoyed our life together

Through every season and all kinds of weather

Sharing our music and the places we roam

As long as I'm with you, my heart is at home

We were strangers in the night, catching a spark

Now you're the melody that plays in my heart

We didn't need riches or wide open space

Just the warm steady comfort of seeing your face

We squeezed in one room for the whole family

But we had it all, 'cause you were with me

Oh, Bill, I've enjoyed our life together

Through every season and all kinds of weather

Sharing our music and the places we roam

As long as I'm with you, my heart is at home

We were strangers in the night, it’s true

And I’m so glad I spent this lifetime with you
