Bluebell Lyrics

You got married in a green dress you stole from your sister's closet

We drove north in a truck I sold when we bought our first cottage

And I proposed in the parking lot the night that we first met

You said, Yes, but Bill, you didn't take me out to dinner yet

Oh the letters to my mother dreamed of you before I even knew

Filled with whispers of adventure, glass slippers, and army boots

And you smile like an actress so allured across the room

A thousand blurred-out faces, my spotlight is stuck on you

Lead me through your favorite sunsets

Take me anywhere the sunlight is endless

I will love you though our hair turns more than gray

Rebecca, my Bluebell, you're my favorite day

Growing gardens, growing old, five children, fifty years

You were charming, always laughing, your smile lighting up my deepest fears

And I'll build you anything you want, just ask and you'll receive

Fixing up our own castle, a home for our family

Lead me through our favorite moments

Take me to Michigan, we'll walk on our own ocean

I will love you though our hair turns more than gray

Rebecca, my Bluebell, don't let us slip away

You're replacing every fragment with the patches that you choose

Oh a tapestry of faded jeans and homemade, I love you's

And I said I'd remember how our children bloomed in June

But growing old like angry gold shoots out the worst, How could you's

Lead me through our favorite moments

Show me anywhere we were effortless

I will love you even past my dying day

Becca, my bluebell, you're my favorite days

And oh my bluebell watched my spirit

Oh my blue watched my spirit

Oh my spirit fades
