Lyrics
Quite a Ride
I awoke this mornin? at quarter past two
And I lay there in bed ,I was just lookin? at you
I remember the laughter, I remember the tears
And owe how I treasure, all of these years
And all that I know
Is that it?s been quite a ride
What would I have done
Without you by my side?
And whenever I was lonely,
Afraid, or way down
I knew I could count
On you bein? around
Now I see this girl, it was just yesterday
Three decades now, how time flies away
I was so fortunate you were given to me
A beautiful treasure and I kept the key
And all that I know
Is that it?s been quite a ride
What would I have done
Without you by my side?
And whenever I was lonely,
Afraid, or way down
I knew I could count
On you bein? around
Now you gave me my heart, when my courage was failin?
And you gave me my soul when I was lost and flailin?
At the end of the day I?d a been lost without you
You?ve been my lighthouse. You?ve seen me through
And all that I know
Is that it?s been quite a ride
What would I have done
Without you by my side?
And whenever I was lonely,
Afraid, or way down
I knew I could count
On you bein? around
And when I needed you most
You always stood tall
And whenever I stumbled
You softened my fall
You?re my light
In the darkness
I counted on you
You never once failed me, Babe,
You always came through
