[Verse]
Seventeen years, Lord, seventeen years
Since I saw you standing there, eyes full of happy tears
Seventeen seasons, the crops have come and gone
Like the words to my favorite old song
Seventeen winters, seventeen springs, seventeen summers of hope
I wouldn’t trade a single day.
[Prechorus]
You ask me how much I love you
But how can I explain?
[Chorus]
Seventeen years of rain
Watering the flowers that still remain
Seventeen years of sun
Shining on us, and we’ve only just begun
[Verse 2]
I remember the dress, I remember the preacher’s drawl
I remember the way you looked, giving me your all
We spoke our vows, we made our promises, we sealed it with a kiss
Seventeen years, seventeen years, nothing could be better than this
But, baby, let me tell you one thing that I know for sure
Seventeen more?
[Chorus]
Seventeen years of rain
Watering the flowers that still remain
Seventeen years of sun
Shining on us, and we’ve only just begun
