It was such a lovely April day

So many years ago

When I walked down the aisle to you,

You took my hand, I trembled so.

We were so young, and so in love

We couldn’t dream what life would hold,

We didn’t even contemplate

That one day we would both grow old.

Now time has taken care of that

And so we face the awful truth

When in the looking glass we see

It’s gone for good, that bloom of youth.

The world has changed, along with us,

And even love is not the same,

For what was once a dancing fire

Is now a sure and steady flame.

We thank the Lord for all our blessings,

For family, friends and joy and laughter

For sixty years, we truly say

We have been ‘happy, ever after.’
