Story Behind the Song
I wrote this in honor of my parents 50th wedding anniversary. It celebrates their committment to each other through "better or worse, sickness and health" and the joy of having their children and grandchildren present at that occasion.
Lyrics
Light and darkness,
you will find me
all of my ways,
all of your days.
Joy and sadness,
you have held me
safe in your heart
right from the start.
And as the years pass by
and go
our vows turn into gold.
We have journied
on a promise
far beyond fear,
leading us here.
Like that promise,
all our children
gathering near,
smiling so clear.
We raise a glass
to new and old
and vows turned into gold.
Love and cherish,
never perish
long as I live
always to give.
Unforsaken,
blessing taken.
I love you still,
I did and I will.
And one enchanted eve foretold
our vows turn into gold.
