Lyrics
IN ALL MY DAYS
David Walburn © 1999
I've seen the Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia
Burning bright with the color in the Fall
Stood on the highest peak and looked out over the heavens
And swore to God that I had seen it all
But I never seen anything like the Rocky Mountains
Where they reach up and kiss the western skies
No, I've never seen anything like it
Never seen anything like it
Never seen anything like it
In All My Days
I've heard the fife and drum lead the way to battle
As brave soldiers all begin to march
I've heard the roar of cannons fired in revolution
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
I've never heard anything like it (Repeat)
I have dined within the walls of Monticello
Tasted all the finest wines around the world
Savored of tje ripest fruit from natures garden
Still can taste that sweet kiss from my first girl
But I've never tasted anything quite as sweet as the
Pacific Ocean's salt upon my lips
Never tasted anything sweeter ( Repeat)
I take pride in the service to my country
Only wish there was more I could have done
Joy fills my heart every time my mother says
No one could 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 yet my words used
to describe it only worked to make it all seem so small
'Cause I could live another hundred years nothing could
ever match the glory of it all
'Cause I
Never seen anything like it
Never heard anything like it
Never tasted anything like it
Never felt anything like it
Experienced anything like it
In All My Days
