Photos added to 'Smiles and the Tears of 50 Years'
A very special thanx to Jody - it was her idea to add the photos to this tune. Helluva job Jody!
THE SMILES AND THE TEARS OF FIFTY YEARS
Oh man what a blast - reliving the past
So many to thank - a beautiful cast
With friends far and near - so many so dear
The smiles and the tears of fifty years
We traveled from home - and pulled into town
Began with a tour - our old stompin’ grounds
So many changes - but all became clear
The smiles and the tears of fifty years
A meet and a greet - memories of places
Though names escaped us - we knew the faces
From past to present - it all reappeared
The smiles and the tears of fifty years
Dinner and photos - and stories we shared
Such laughter and love - cannot be compared
Like time standing still - no worries or fears
The smiles and the tears of fifty years
We’ll never forget - our friends that have passed
Lives taken away - and gone way too fast
Always remembered - yes always quite near
The smiles and the tears of fifty years
Many new memories - to add to the old
Cherished forever - our own pot of gold
So lucky are we - life shared on earth here
The smiles and the tears of fifty years
The smiles and the tears of fifty years
