Could feel the sunshine, your lens was so wide
Though the world was black & white in the summer of '55
You wore your bowtie, showing off your new bride
But there was no time to recognize
That you looked extraordinary
And you lived through the hard times
And you loved with an ever hopeful mind
With an ever open, ever hopeful mind
Birthday cake messes, and sweet summer dresses
All of our first steps, home from your hands
Footsteps to footprints, this life's a short sprint
Gone before you know it despite your plans
And you looked extraordinary
And you lived through the hard times
And you loved with an ever hopeful mind
With an ever open, ever hopeful mind
And you looked extraordinary
And you lived through the hard times
And you loved with an ever hopeful mind
With an ever open, ever hopeful mind
Extraordinary (repeat)
