It was the wranglers that caught her eye
Her sweet smile was fixed in his mind
Didn't get her number, but he learned her name
And as fate would have it he'd see her again
They didn't know yet
They'd never forget
She waited by the door for his car
Right on time, he pulled in the yard
Her parents watched as they drove away
In the same Pontiac on their wedding day
They didn't know yet
They'd never forget
Forty years is a lifetime
Full of good and some hard times
Forty years of your love
Still isn't enough
It's not enough
Five babies later working days and nights
Laying all the bricks to build a nice life
It wasn't easy, but that's alright
It's all romantic in hindsight
They didn't know yet
They'd never forget
Forty years is a lifetime
Full of good and some hard times
Forty years of your love
Still isn't enough
It's not enough
They'll hold each other and reminisce
Saying, man, the earth, it sure spins fast
Was it me that turned your hair gray
Oh, trust me, I like it that way
Wasn't 1980 just yesterday
Hey, remember when we used to say
Forty years is a lifetime
Full of good and some hard times
Forty years of your love
Still isn't enough
Forty years is a lifetime
Full of good and some hard times
Forty years of your love
Still isn't enough
It's not enough
No, it's not enough
For your love
