Anniversary Song (lyrics)

As when God joined us as one, and we faced this life together,
when we brought new life into the world and held them in our arms,
as the blessings of a peaceful home, the joy of children's children,
time has been that good to us.

As the newness of each spring, as the vibrant days of summer,
as the splendor of the autumn leaves lit by the morning sun,
as the magic of a fireside in the cold and dark of winter,
time has been that good to us.

We've cared all these years, we've shared all these years
the laughter and the love and warm embraces.
Though changes are there... the grey in our hair,
the lines that life has etched upon our faces.

As the hours of holding hands, as the tender, special moments,
as fulfilling as our love so we need never love again,
as the tapestry of memories we will cherish til our ending,
time has been that good to us.
Yes, time has been so very good to us...
