Lyrics
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS
HUSBAND:
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS, WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS, THROUGH CALM AND STORMY WEATHER
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS - AND I'D DO IT ALL AGAIN.
WIFE:
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS - TWO LOVELY DAUGHTERS
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS - ONE TEETERS - ONE TOTTERS
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS - AND YOU'RE STILL MY BEST FRIEND.
BOTH:
IT'S NOT THAT ALL'S BEEN PERFECT, YOU SEE
WIFE:
WE'VE HAD OUR FIGHTS AND THEN SOME,DON'T YOU AGREE?
BUT THROUGH IT ALL I KNEW YOU'D STICK AROUND
BECAUSE A GENTLE, LOVING MAN I HAD FOUND.
BOTH:
IT'S NOT THAT ALL'S BEEN PERFECT, YOU SEE
WE'VE HAD OUR FIGHTS AND THEN SOME,DON'T YOU AGREE?
HUSBAND:
BUT THROUGH IT ALL I KNEW YOU YOU'D STICK AROUND
BECAUSE A GENTLE, LOVING WOMAN I HAD FOUND.
BOTH:
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS
HUSBAND:
FOR WORSE OR BETTER
BOTH:
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS
WIFE:
SOME DAMN GOOD LOVE LETTERS
BOTH:
THIRTY-FIVE YEARS, AND I'D DO IT ALL AGAIN.
FOR AFTER THIRTY-FIVE YEARS,
YOU'RE STILL MY BEST FRIEND
