Promise of eternity
When I slipped the ring on your finger
A promise of eternity
On my lips
For a second did linger.
A promise to be loved and to be cherished
Till forever if needed
Our lives would be enmeshed
Our children see grown
With homes of their own
Our friendships made concrete
Our life's circle complete
Half a century has passed
And my thoughts are the same
The promise of eternity
With you to remain

Promise of eternity
When I slipped the ring on your finger
A promise of eternity
On my lips
For a second did linger.
A promise to be loved and to be cherished
Till forever if needed
Our lives would be enmeshed
Our children see grown
With homes of their own
Our friendships made concrete
Our life's circle complete
Half a century has passed
And my thoughts are the same
The promise of eternity
With you to remain
fifty years marriage, eternity,
