It was fifty years ago when I first saw her
And I fell for her
beauty and her charm
And now in the autumn
of our years
I’m still proud to
have her on my arm
How long ago it was
when we were young
When every minute we
were parted
Was full of the
agonies and torment
And time alone left us
broken hearted
I could have composed
wondrous symphonies
And written lofty
ballads to her name
I could have written
the sweetest love songs
And never expressed
what are love became
I would have crossed
the wildest seas
And walked on coals to
be at her side
I would have slain the
fiercest dragon
And fought duals to
win her as my bride
I proclaimed my love
to her as everlasting
And I told her we
would always be together
Through thick and
thin, good times and bad
Through calmness and
through stormy weather
How my heart soared as
the church bells rang
When at the alter she
stood and said I do
Now after fifty
summers and fifty winters
The love I proclaimed
still holds true
