In All My Days
IN ALL MY DAYS
©David Walburn 1999
VERSE
I’ve seen the Blue Ridge of West Virginia
Burning bright with color in the fall
Stood on the highest peak and look out over the heavens
And swore that I had seen it all
But I’ve never seen any thing like the Rocky Mountains
As they kiss the western skies
CHORUS
I’ve never seen anything like it
Never seen anything like it
Never seen anything like it
In All My Days
VERSE
I’ve heard the fife and drum lead the way to battle
As the brave solders all begin to march
And I’ve heard the roar of cannons fired in revolution
The cries of victory when the balls have hit their mark
But I’ve never heard anything like the rumble of the earth
Where the Missouri surrenders to Great Falls
CHORUS
I’ve never heard anything like it
VERSE
I have dinned within the walls of Monticello
Tasted all the finest wines around the world
Savored on the ripest fruits from natures garden
Still taste that sweet kiss from my first girl
But I’ve never tasted anything quite as sweet
As the Pacific’s salt upon my lips
CHORUS
I’ve never tasted anything like it
I take pride in the service to my country
Only wish that there was more I’ve could have done
Joy fill my heart every time my mother says
No one could ever be prouder of their son
But I’ve never felt anything like the pride I felt
The day I showed Jefferson all that we had done
And we sat and talked for hours but my words to describe it
Only worked to make it all seem so small
And I could live another 100 years nothing would ever match the glory of it all
CHORUS
