Years and Years of Love❤️

Intro

Mmm…

Sometimes love don’t start with fireworks…

Sometimes it starts in a car, after class, just ridin’ through the city…

And before you know it—

You got years and years of marriage… four babies…

And a lifetime you wouldn’t trade for nothin’.

Verse

Gene had that old car rollin’, headed down to TSU,

Rose and Gail in the backseat, laughin’ like they always do.

I was downtown on business, walkin’ just to clear my mind,

Gene saw me on that sidewalk, said “Hop in, brother, we got time.”

Dropped the ladies at their stop, started jokin’ on the ride,

“Gene, you sweet on any of them?”—I asked with a smile so wide.

Four young hearts all tangled, they were never far apart,

And somewhere on that drive home, love whispered to their hearts…

Chorus

Years and years of love,

Four children from above.

Started with a ride back home,

And now we’re never alone.

Through every twist, every turn,

Two hearts had a lot to learn…

But we built a life so strong—

Yeah, this love’s been here all along.

Verse

Larry and Gail at the same high school, but never crossed each other's way,

Then TSU came callin’, destiny was runnin’ late that day.

Gene and Gail shared French and Math, Biology in the morning light,

Rose and Mom worked Herman Hospital, hustlin’ through those long nights.

Gene was at Ben Taub, dreamin’ big while supplyin’ floors,

Felix came to visit campus—Mom and Rose walked through those doors.

Saw him standin’ there with Gene, said “Hey! We know that smile!”

Found out Gene had a car—and the schemin’ started in style.

Rides to work, rides to class, lunches with Willie Hall,

He’d drop them off from TSU, then swing back ‘round for all.

One day they drove downtown, saw Larry walkin’ all alone—

Gene pulled over, Larry got in…

That was the ride that took Gail home.

Chorus

Years and years of love,

Four children from above.

Started with a ride back home,

And now we’re never alone.

Through every twist, every turn,

Two hearts had a lot to learn…

But we built a life so strong—

Yeah, this love’s been here all along.

Verse

Gail and Rose been tight forever, since junior high school days,

Met Gene at TSU—smartest brother in the place.

One day Rose got down with strep, and Gail saw Felix standin’ near,

Realized they were cousins—oh, the plan became so clear.

“Baby, he got a car… let’s get rides to work and class,”

Laughin’ all the way downtown, hopin’ those moments wouldn’t pass.

Went to get some shoes one evening, Gene saw Larry takin’ that stroll,

Said “Hop in, I’ll get you home”—

And love started to take control.

Gail and Rose had a promise—date brothers or best friends,

So they’d always stay together till the very end.

Larry and Gene flipped a coin just to make it right—

And the love that came from that flip still shines every night.
