Still That Day
[Verse 1] A string quartet played and you started to cry Standing in white with the sun in your eyes Twenty-five years of chalk dust and grace Third-graders who'll never forget your face Every December you roll out the dough Your grandmother's hands in the way that you fold Something so quiet, something so right I've been yours since the moment of that violin night [Chorus] Karen, it's still that day Every time I watch you laugh or hear you say 'babe' The whole room fills like a church in May And I can't breathe — I wouldn't want it any other way [Verse 2] You're singing Shania loud over the kitchen sink A little off-key and I love it, I think You call me 'babe' when you're happy and 'babe' when you're not That one little word is the most that I've got Fifty-one years and you still make me feel Like the man standing frozen in front of the aisle Nothing has shifted, nothing has changed You're the song and the quiet and the whole thing [Chorus] Karen, it's still that day Every time I watch you laugh or hear you say 'babe' The whole room fills like a church in May And I can't breathe — I wouldn't want it any other way
