Forty Years

The greatest joy in all a lifetime
Is there for you, is there for me
To find someone to share your life with
When you find her, you’ll be complete

Go and find the one for you
When you find her then be true
Plant your roots and plant them deep
The marriage vow was meant to keep

Forty years we’ve been together
Forty years, some good some bad
Forty years most of my lifetime, with
The best friend I’ve ever had

Chorus

I have a thought; she shares my thinking
I have a hurt; she shares my pain
Growing old is great together
I’d do it all; all over again

Chorus

Don’t know what I’d do without her
Don’t know how I’d get along
In honor of this lovely lady
I strum these strings, I sing this song.
