sixty years ago

a blessed candle burnin' lights her golden band

her beads and book of prayers are resting in her hand

he pulls a chair beside her to sit with her a while

she turns her feeble body close to give him one last smile

as he held her wedding finger softly he did say

i remember when you said i do seems like yesterday

when you took my name that morning my heart did overflow

and i still feel the way i did sixty years ago

with a damp white cloth he soothes her his soul-mate his best friend

her suffering now is over he knows this is the end

she said they're here to take me it's time to say goodbye

one last breath a gentle kiss a tear falls from his eye

as he held her wedding finger softly he did say

i remember when you said i do seems like yesterday

when you took my name that morning my heart did overflow

and i still feel the way i did sixty years ago

as he held her wedding finger softly he did say

i remember when you said i do seems like yesterday

when you took my name that morning my heart did overflow

and i still feel the way i did sixty years ago

i still feel the way i did sixty years ago
