(Song for Nina & Papa's 50th wedding anniversary)
A Song For A Golden Anniversary, A Song For A Lifetime Of Love
A Song For What They’ve Given You And Me, A Song Of Thanks To God Above
Born And Raised In Western Pennsylvania, As Teenagers They Started On This Path
A Friend Once Said To Wil “Hey, I Don’t Blame ‘Ya”
One And One Makes One Forever, My Kind Of Math
Soon After The War They Were Married, Beginnings Of The Family You All Know
Two Daughters And A Son She Carried, And In The 50s We Began To Grow
Then One Winter Night, Snuggled Up In Bed, She Listened To The Wind In The Storm
He Got Home From Work, Cuddled Up And Said, “Whaddaya Say We Move To Where It’s Warm”
Dad Became Certified With Numbers, Helping People Find The Bottom Line
Mom Was The One We Kids Would Run To, Always Willing To Volunteer Her Time
Friends Around The World They Would Visit, Carrying A Smile Where ‘Ere They’d Go
Friends Would Ask Themselves “Just What Is It?”, That Makes These People So Much Fun To Know
Then One Winter Night, Waiting By The Phone, The Shortest Day Of 1981
This Would Happen Four More Times Before The Decade’s Done, Grandparents Of Five They Would Become
Now We Will Say What We Came To Say, Before Our Time Together Must End
Thanks To Our Father, Thanks To Our Mother, And Thanks To Two Very Special Friends
A Song For A Golden Anniversary, A Song For A Lifetime Of Love
A Song For What They’ve Given You And Me, A Song Of Thanks To God Above
