It was on this day fifty years ago
Two kids made a promise to never let go
With no idea how the future would unfold
They took a leap of faith with only the other's hand to hold
Hoping that what they built would turn to gold
They started out like so many before
They didn’t have much but they didn’t need more
Heading down a road without knowing where it went
Taking things day by day with the time that they spent
Learning that what they built was heaven-sent
They built a home they’re living in today
They built a life they share everyday
They built memories that will never fade
They built a love that will never go away
That grows a little more each day
Each year passed with both stresses and joys
Especially once they had their two boys
First one married then the other did too
They watched what they had grow two by two
Knowing that what they built was tried and true
They built a home they’re living in today
They built a life they share everyday
They built memories that will never fade
They built a love that will never go away
That grows a little more each day
A lot of life happens over fifty years
Fed with hopes and dreams and wishes and fears
With time moving by at incredible speed
They grew their family tree with love as the seed
Knowing that what they built fulfilled their needs
They built a home they’re living in today
They built a life they share everyday
They built memories that will never fade
They built a love that will never go away
That grows a little more each day
That grows a little more each day
A love that grows a little more each day
