Purple Sage Lyrics

The best music we ever made

Was right here in the Purple Sage

People came from all over town

To watch and sing and dance around

It'll be forty three years this May

I said yes on an August day

And if I've done anything right

It was marrying you that summer night

Honey if I'm telling the truth

I'm more scared for me than you

Cause you'll go on forever in a song

But if you go

My music

Will be gone

Cancer

The doctor said

I covered my mouth and shook my head

Is there anything we can do

The Lord is faithful

I know that's true

But honey if I'm telling the truth

I'm more scared for me than you

Cause you'll go on forever in a song

But if you go

My music

Will be gone

I'll never forget that night

We stayed up singing till the morning light

With our children and their children too

They all look like you

Honey if I'm telling the truth

I'm more scared for us than you

Cause you'll fly on the wings of some song

But if you go

Our music

Will be gone
