Every Second Year Lyrics

Every second year we load up the car

Travel down the winding road

It's not too far

To the folks of my wife

Where the farmhouse stands

Cows and sheep grazing on the open lands

Grandpa's got a twinkle in his wise old eyes

Christmas porridge for the barn gnome

Oh what a surprise

Grandma's in the kitchen

Hands covered in flour

Baking up a storm for the festive hour

Every second year

We find our way back home

To a place where simple love and memories roam

Through fields and heartaches

Laughter never wanes

On the farm where life is slow but gain

Children play outside

Laughter fills the air

And the old barn cat watches with a careful stare

Grandpa's tales of old

Spinning yarns so bright

While the fire crackles warm on a winter night

Morning comes and with it

The smell of fresh bread

Grandma's magic touch fills our souls and our heads

We gather 'round the table

Each and every year

Hearts full of gratitude

Faces full of cheer

Every second year

We find our way back home

To a place where simple love and memories roam

Through fields and heartaches

Laughter never wanes

On the farm where life is slow but gain

Every second year

The miles fall away

In the scenes of country tree side

We forever stay

Traditions in our hearts

Love in every tear

Carved in the memory

Enduring and clear

Every second year

The miles fall away

In the scenes of countryside

We forever stay

Traditions in our hearts

Love in every tear

Carved in the memory

Enduring and clear

Every second year

The miles fall away

In the scenes of country tree side

We forever stay

Carved in the memory

Enduring and clear

Enduring and clear
