WE'VE BEEN PALS FOR FIFTY YEARS
(Author Unknown)


In a quaint little cottage
By the fireside's gentle glow 
A couple old and grey sit hand in hand
Many years they've strolled together 
As they climbed the stairs of life
Till now they've almost reached the Golden Land


As they sit there in the gloaming
Their thoughts are far away
They're dreaming of their happy wedding day
Said the old man, "Love I'm thinking
Of the day when we must part
So listen while there's something I would say"


"We've been pals for fifty years, love
And I've loved you all the while
For there's music in your laughter
And sunshine in your smile
But perhaps we soon will part, love
And it fills my heart with tears
But there's something sweet to know, love
We've been pals for fifty years"
