Golden years It's a wonder that I'm still here Just as healthy and alive
These weary eyes While they have seen better days They've never seen a better sight Than that of my darling bride
The first light of the Spring sun shining the day she entered The first gaze like a tidal wave breaking over my soul The feeling she left still reeling all around me today
Our days were young But I knew well what had to be done Build a plan of my attack
And every way Went against the way I was made But I was never lookin' back
My knee's bent and with a look I said And I said... say goodbye to the lonely summers So heaven help us You are the everafter and there can be no other Who knew that love Could turn up right on the doorstep Into my life
That day I could feel the warmth of the sun As our hearts beat on as one Sayin' "aren't we?"
Come see the foolish man and his mistake A treasure to treat all of you
(Come together forever and alive, God Bless her soul)
By now she can see the curve of the earth Floating overhead While we went starting our lives
Sometimes when the air hits me just right I still can feel her by my side
Golden years It's a wonder she isn't here Just as healthy and alive
To celebrate a Half-Century to the date The greatest moment of our time With knees bent and with a look I said You were dead and gone.
