25TH IS SILVER AND IS FOREVER

We started as friends, then as lovers and ended up as a couple and tomorrow Nette and I will celebrate our 25 Wedding Anniversary. I knew we'll last this long, but, as with other marriages that last, it wasn't always easy, but, it wasn't very bad either. It had our share of problems, joys and hardships. Through it all it is a happy partnership. Through it all, we survive and will continue live together till we don't know each other anymore. That's a joke. Or till I get older and older. And that one is true. This song says it all. I hope your marriages will be a long, happy and loving one.

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

A faded wedding photograph
You and me in our first steps
The lives of those
We lost in the sweet abyss
Though the faithful world has changed
But our love remains the same
God know we've had our share of saving grace.

And I'm proud of all the blessings
You have given me
The mountains we have climbed to get this far
You learn to take the laughter with the tears
After all these years.

You make it feel brand new
After the trials that we've gone through
Against the odds we never lost our faith
In our hearts we've made our home
Where our children all have grown
Precious moments time cannot erase.

We've been livin' up and down the dixie highways
Seasons that we've learned to share apart
Somehow in my heart I always keep you near me
After all these years.

After all these years
You stood by me
Those days and nights that I was gone
After all these years
You sacrificed, believe in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear
After all these years.

After all these years
You stood by me
Those days and nights I was gone
After all these years
You sacrifices, believe in me
And you stood strong
Cause with our love there's nothing to fear
After all these years.
