I could see the sadness in her eyes
as she sat guietly in the corner
with tears in her eyes.
She was quietly caressing memories
from her soul,the feelings she is now
harboring no one knows.
Fifty years together is a life time
a life time of memories ,some good some sad,
oh but she would`nt trade even one that she had.
You could see the gleam come from her eyes
as she told stories from older times.
when she was a young woman in her prime.
Now it seems time has passed her by
this is what she would say as tears gathered
in her eyes,why i can remember when i said i do
and we went to niagari falls on our honeymoon.
It seems just like yesterday as we watched
our children grow, all the backyard barbecues
and pitcure shows, but now fifty years has come
and gone the kids are all grown with children
of their own.
But then she would just stare into space
we could see the age in her face fifty years
is a lifetime, but today she says goodbye to her best friend
But through her tears she says her goodbyes
and she says it won`t be long and i`ll be by your side...
