Brother Kite Half Century
Golden years
It's a wonder that I'm still here
Just as healthy and alive
These weary eyes
While they have seen better days
They've never seen a better sight
Than that of my darling bride
The first light of the Spring sun shining the day she
entered
The first gaze like a tidal wave breaking over my soul
The feeling she left still reeling all around me today
Our days were young
But I knew well what had to be done
Build a plan of my attack
And every way
Went against the way I was made
But I was never lookin' back
My knee's bent and with a look I said
And I said...
say goodbye to the lonely summers
So heaven help us
You are the everafter and there can be no other
Who knew that love
Could turn up right on the doorstep
Into my life
That day I could feel the warmth of the sun
As our hearts beat on as one
Sayin' "aren't we?"
Come see the foolish man and his mistake
A treasure to treat all of you
(Come together forever and alive, God Bless her soul)
By now she can see the curve of the earth
Floating overhead
While we went starting our lives
Sometimes when the air hits me just right
I still can feel her by my side
Golden years
It's a wonder she isn't here
Just as healthy and alive
To celebrate a Half-Century to the date
The greatest moment of our time
With knees bent and with a look I said
You were dead and gone.
