How could we have known, when we first met years ago,

The romance that we'd find would stand the test of time?

When we said "forever" did we know 

How very far we'd go, and did we think of this?

When we felt the future stir within

Did we know it would begin with one romantic kiss?

 

Soon the wedding bells embraced us and wished us well;

We set off for the sun, together, two as one;

Darling, you and I said we'd be so good together

Through marvelous and dear GOLDEN YEARS.

 

The flowered things that new love brings

May blossom once and fall;

The secret of surviving very long

Is strong in love that's strong.

 

The seasons of our lives we've seen through each other's eyes;

The young dreams that we knew may not have all come true;

But darling, you and I--we have seen so much together!

Fabulous and dear GOLDEN YEARS.

 

No one could have asked for more;

Our lives have been fulfilled;

The wisdom of our passing years is this:

True love cannot be stilled.

 

Remembering the past, we celebrate love that lasts;

From one enchanted day through 50 priceless Mays!

Darling, you and I--this has been so good together!

Celebrating here with those we love so near,

These fabulous and dear GOLDEN YEARS.
