By Alan Rickertsen
We Got Married 55 Years Ago Today – August 29, 1971
Intro
Verse 1
Morning Light Comes Soft Through The Kitchen Blinds
Same Old Coffee, Same Two Chairs, Same Two Minds
I Look Across The Table And The Years Fall Away
We Got Married Fifty-Five Years Ago Today
Your Hair’s A Little Silver, Mine’s Mostly Gone
But That Smile Still Feels Like Our Very First Song
Hands That Once Were Steady Now Move A Little Slow
But They Still Find Each Other Just Like They Know
Chorus
Fifty-Five..............years............ago Today
Said “I Do” One Sunday And Never Looked Away
Some Good, Some Bad, Some Laughter, And A Little Rain
We Got Married, Fifty-Five Years Ago Today
And I’d Still Choose You, Every Single Day
Verse 2
We Raised Kids And Lost Sleep And Learned To Lean In Close
A Life Of Ordinary Days And The Ones That Mean The Most
Some Nights We Barely Spoke, Come Mornings We Held Tight
But We Never Let The Hard Parts End The Delight
Now The House Is Quieter, The Walls Know All The Names
Photographs On Every Shelf Of The Love That Still Remains
I Reach For Your Hand Like I Did When We Were Young
And It Still Feels Like Home After All We’ve Done
Chorus
Fifty-Five..............years............ago Today
Said “I Do” One Sunday And Never Looked Away
Some Good, Some Bad, Some Laughter, And A Little Rain
We Got Married, Fifty-Five Years Ago Today
And I’d Still Choose You, Every Single Day
Bridge
If I Could Go Back And Do It All Again
I’d Walk That Aisle A Little Faster, So Ready To Begin
A Grand Romance And Shaky Plans, Just Two Hearts That Stay
And Fifty-Five Years Later, That’s Still Enough To Say
Chorus
Fifty-Five..............years............ago Today
Said “I Do” One Sunday And Never Looked Away
Some Good, Some Bad, Some Laughter, And A Little Rain
We Got Married Fifty-Five Years Ago Today
And I’d Still Choose You, Every Single Day
Outro
Some Good, Some Bad, Some Laughter, And A Little Rain
We Got Married, Fifty-Five Years Ago Today
And I’d Still Choose You, Every Single Day
