He was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed southern boy with all the charm
She was a small-town girl who went to church and prayed
She caught his eye one night as he drove by
And he knew right then he'd marry her one day

He asked: Hun, do you ever think that you'll get tired of me?
She just laughed and said: I know I never will
So they went down to the preacher's house to change her namе
As they read their vows, this is what hе said

Nadine, won't you take my hand?
Come with me and let's go dance
Life's too short not to have a little fun
On this trip around the Sun

Well, the years rolled on, kids came along and times got hard
In a one-room shack, not a nickel to their name
But their love stayed young as it once was
Every morning, he'd look in her eyes and say

Nadine, won't you take my hand?
Come with me and let's go dance
Life's too short not to have a little fun
On this trip around the Sun

Well, they grew old together
And the years took a toll on him
Then came that day when he got out of his bed
Looked her in the eyes and said

Nadine, won't you take my hand?
The time has come for my farewell dance
Life with you sure has been a lot of fun
And I'll be waiting on you when you're done
With this trip around the Sun
