It's withered now and shakes just a bit
Alot of time now you must sit
You may now have grown old that bothers me not
You are the best I have had and the best I got
We shared the love through all of these years
Please sweetheart lay down your sweet tears
The ring I just bought fights your finger well
To you my heart I now want to tell
Marry me once more I'm down on my knees
To me my dear you have always pleased
We'll go to our graves embracing our love
At this last wedding we will release a dove
Their symbol will mean we are ready to go
But not without each other embracing this I know
Eighty years This year we have been together
So much my dear we have had to weather
So I take your hand now and help you along
And sing of my praises of you in every song
Will you marry me and give me the honor
Because when I met you my heart was a goner
