Lyrics
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD
(Gifts Of Gold)
By Patrick Welch 3/2/20
(chorus)
G C
She's got nerves of steel, she's got a heart of gold.
D7
Gifts God gave her to get to "to have and to hold."
G C
She's still a real beauty, my woman my wife.
D7
Standing right here with me through all kinds of strife.
Em G
We made some kids, made some grandkids too
D7 C G
Crossed the Carolinas to be renewed.
(chorus)
We love the Blue Ridge Mts, love the City too...
Living in these Mts to be renewed.
There's beauty all around us, new treasures every day...
The beauty God gave me, is more than I can say. (chorus)
Grateful for my woman, always true blue,
God knows I didn't deserve her, didn't have a clue
Gifted with a woman who'd love me, stay with me too
Making life's journey together, Now that is proof.
(Chorus)
