Could feel the sunshine, your lens was so wide Though the world was black & white in the summer of '55 You wore your bowtie, showing off your new bride But there was no time to recognize That you looked extraordinary And you lived through the hard times And you loved with an ever hopeful mind With an ever open, ever hopeful mind Birthday cake messes, and sweet summer dresses All of our first steps, home from your hands Footsteps to footprints, this life's a short sprint Gone before you know it despite your plans And you looked extraordinary And you lived through the hard times And you loved with an ever hopeful mind With an ever open, ever hopeful mind And you looked extraordinary And you lived through the hard times And you loved with an ever hopeful mind With an ever open, ever hopeful mind Extraordinary (repeat)
