Worth the Tears

At eighteen, the rumors were
The war was almost over
On a summer day in '46, she stood on Memorial Bridge
To hear a piano man playin' by the water's edge

She didn't know, in moments she'd meet the man of her dreams
Navy boy and country girl
A life, it seems, full of moments like these
Is worth the tears
It's worth the tears

It was up to them to carry on
When his Daddy passed away
Left a company, a legacy--to build a life now on their own
He became a lumberman, working at the break of dawn

She didn't know, in moments she'd meet the man of her dreams
Navy boy and country girl
A life, it seems, full of moments like these
Is worth the tears
It's worth the tears

On the farm, a rainy day
Danny free and running wild
With a daddy's hands, he grabbed the reins
Then was drawn through the muddy plain
Became a Pony Man, hear her laughing still today

She didn't know, in moments she'd meet the man of her dreams
Navy boy and country girl
A life, it seems, full of moments like these
Is worth the tears
It's worth the tears

Sixty years built a life, a love, a home
Four children grown, children of their own
With a heart so full, 'course it's gonna hurt
When the Lord decides to take him first

On her own again
She wouldn't change a thing
She'd do it all again
She'd do it all again

At eighteen, the rumors were
The war was almost over
