Fifty Years Ago

You and me, we’ve have aged, you see.
The years are all to blame.
I might not recall your name at all
But your smile is just the same.
Some moved away, some others stayed.
We’re back to say hello.
So let’s raise a glass, salute our past
Fifty years ago.

We slowed down a bit, I must admit.
Put on a pound or two.
But when I look into your eyes
I see that it’s still you.
Stories old will still be told,
Memories we all know.
‘Cause here we are, we’ve come so far
From 50 years ago.

We’ve just tonight to do this right.
To hug and chat and laugh.
So say a prayer for those we lost
And sigh on their behalf.
So many gone but life moves on.
We have our paths to sow.
So gather near and shed a tear
For 50 years ago.
