True love is a journey not a place
Built on trust and fed with faith
And we thank you for showing us the way
So now the gift of fifty years
Through all the hugs and tears
How exquisite and rare
All you've shared together and all you gave

All the love you've given us
Could easily fill a universe
And you showed us how to hold it all in our hearts
You've made it easy to discover
Through true love for one another
These have been the best fifty years so far

There will be those who may say
It's just another year or day
But all you've lived could never fit into just one of those
So let our celebration show
We're proud you held so close
Together making love stronger
Than only one could ever make whole

All the love you both have shared
Is easily beyond compare
And you know how to hold it all in your heart
You've made it easy to discover
Through true love for one another
These have been the best fifty years so far
