Michael Martin Murphey – A Long Line of Love Lyrics
I bought a beautiful diamond ring I offered it to the sweetest thing I know
And she said she would take it
We started making some wedding plans she looked at me and she took my hand
And said are you sure we can make it
I said my grand dad’s still in love with my grandma
I said my dad still thinks my moms the sweetest thing he ever saw
I come from a long line of love
When the times get hard we don’t give up
Forever is in my heart and in me blood
You see I come from a long line of love
Years went by and we had a son now he thinks he found someone for him
And they’re planning a wedding
He called me up on the phone today just to see what I had to say to him
Did I think he was ready?
I said what his grandfather used to say to me
Its been handed down for ages it runs in our family
You come from a long line of love
When the times get hard we don’t give up
Forever is in your heart and in your blood
Son you come from a long line of love
We come from a long line of love
GENIUS
