Grace

We're gathered 'round the table, laughing till we cry

We love to joke and tease you, but you know the reason why

It's all just fun and games, 'cause you're so smart and kind

The most patient little sister that a family could find

When we all get together, the memories start to roll

You're the piece that makes us family, the piece that makes us whole

Oh, Grace, you're turning fifty, and we want to make it clear

We love you and appreciate the way you persevere

When life gets a little messy and the stress begins to build

You hold yourself together with a spirit strong and willed

You face whatever comes your way, you take it all in stride

Happy birthday from the family standing right here by your side

We see how hard you're working when the daily grind is tough

But you always show this family that your love is strong enough

You're a steady, guiding anchor with a heart made out of gold

And fifty's just a number for a soul that won't grow old

Through the ups and through the downs, you never lose your grace

You bring a special sunshine to every single place

Oh, Grace, you're turning fifty, and we want to make it clear

We love you and appreciate the way you persevere

When life gets a little messy and the stress begins to build

You hold yourself together with a spirit strong and willed

You face whatever comes your way, you take it all in stride

Happy birthday from the family standing right here by your side

And there's someone else who's celebrating with us here today

Though he's watching from the stars, he's never far away

Daddy's looking down from heaven, and he's smiling at the view

Sending all his pride and all his sweetest love to you

Oh, Grace, you're turning fifty, and we want to make it clear

We love you and appreciate the way you persevere

When life gets a little messy and the stress begins to build

You hold yourself together with a spirit strong and willed

You face whatever comes your way, you take it all in stride

Happy fiftieth, dear sister, you're our joy and you're our pride!
