Country Waltz wedding song.
country traditional rock
Story behind the song
Janice and Blake wrote the lyrics and I wrote the music. This is one of their favorite songs that we have written together. I think it has a really good story line and a lot of couples can relate to this song.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Watching her sleep here beside me
I’m amazed at how far we’ve come
From the poorest side of Santa Fe
So in love and way too young
I saved up my tips from the drive-in
To buy her a gold wedding band
I couldn’t afford the ring that she wanted
So I made a change in my plan
Chorus
Turquoise and Silver
Was all I could give her
I wished it was diamonds and gold
Turquoise and Silver
I promised forever
One heart to have and to hold
Verse 2
Nothing in our life came easy
A furnished room was our home
Two jobs and eighty long hours
We were barely hangin’ on
Working my way up the ladder
I never once heard her complain
With love and hard work we succeeded
But one thing remained just the same
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
On our fifteenth anniversary
I promised her a new wedding band
She could’ve had any ring that she wanted
She smiled and said “You don’t understand”
2nd Chorus
Turquoise and Silver
Means more now than ever
I still don’t need diamonds and gold
Turquoise and Silver
Will stay on my finger
Because it’s the ring that you chose
Tag
When our hair turns to silver, till the end of forever
She’ll wear the ring that I chose
