Golden Years

Golden Years

I Have Been with You for Fifty Years
And Oh, the Times We've Had!
The Memories  We Made
Were Good and Some Were Bad

But Through it All I've Loved You.
I Think You must Have Known.
I Couldn't Have Made it Without You
And All the Love You've Shown

We've Had Rocky Roads and Heartaches
And  Children along the Way
But We Did it All Together
And Took Everything Day to Day

So as We Celebrate this Day,
And Enjoy Our Golden Years
Forgive Me If You Will
If I Shed a Happy Tear

A Love That Lasts this Long
Is a Testament to Time
It Is What They Call "Forever"
And I'm Glad That You're Still Mine

So as We Begin Year Fifty one
There Is Something I'd like You to Hear
Maybe You Haven't Heard it Enough
I'd like to Say.."I Love You, Dear."
