Randy Travis shared a heartwarming tribute to his wife, Mary, to celebrate her birthday on Tuesday (March 19). The beloved country music legend referenced one of his classic ballads as he posted a photo on his social media pages. The photo captures the husband-and-wife duo sitting side-by-side at a restaurant, with Travis flashing a big smile and Mary looking at the slice of cake with a glowing birthday candle in it.
“Happy birthday, Mary! I’ll always love you forever and ever,” Travis wrote in his Instagram caption, quickly garnering birthday wishes from other Instagram users in the comments.
“I'm gonna love you forever/ Forever and ever, amen/ As long as old men sit and talk about the weather/ As long as old women sit and talk about old men/ If you wonder how long I'll be faithful/ I’ll be happy to tell you again/ I’m gonna love you forever and ever/ Forever and ever, amen”
Travis released “Forever And Ever, Amen” in the late 1980s on his 10-track album, Always & Forever. The song remains one of the most timeless hits of Travis’ decades-spanning career, along with “Deeper Than the Holler,” “On the Other Hand,” “I Told You So” and many others. see Travis’ birthday tribute to his wife here:
