My darling Happy Anniversary

I've watched the gold in your hair turn silver

And the clutch of your hands getting weaker

All these things say it wasn't yesterday

Once again thanks for the memory

The paper we signed has turned yellow

Its crumbling edges tend to tell its age

Its meaning we will cherish forever

But in the book of our lives it's just a page
