Seventy-Nine

Verse 1: Seventy-nine years breathing air Seen it all from here to there Just eleven years from ninety Got more blessings than I got plenty Chorus: Seventy-nine and still alive More than just trying to survive Every year a precious stone In this crown I've grown to own Seventy-nine Verse 2: Grandkids asking for my stories All my failures, all my glories Time has turned them all to gold Worth more than they can hold (Repeat Chorus) Bridge: Moses lived to one-twenty I might have years of plenty But if today's my final line I'm grateful for seventy-nine
