Donna

I look back at the calendar, nineteen seventy-eight

Two young kids making promises, trusting in our fate

Donna, you're the gentle heart who helped me build this life

I'm the luckiest man breathing just to call you my wife

Through every passing season, you've been steady, you've been true

I didn't know how fast the years would fly away with you

Husband and wife, together for life

Side by side through the years, through the joy and the strife

You're my loving, caring anchor, my best friend till the end

Forty-eight years of memories, and I'd do it all again

Husband and wife, together for life

The world outside keeps spinning, but you always keep me grounded

By the deep well of your caring soul, I'm constantly astounded

When the days get a little dark and the shadows start to fall

You just smile and take my hand, and we get through it all

You're not just my companion as the pages turn and blend

Donna, you have always been my very best friend

Husband and wife, together for life

Side by side through the years, through the joy and the strife

You're my loving, caring anchor, my best friend till the end

Forty-eight years of memories, and I'd do it all again

Husband and wife, together for life

Forty-eight years might seem like a long, long way to go

But the time just slips right through my hands because I love you so

Every vow we made back then is stronger than before

And every single day I wake, I only love you more

Husband and wife, together for life

Side by side through the years, through the joy and the strife

You're my loving, caring anchor, my best friend till the end

Forty-eight years of memories, and I'd do it all again

Oh Donna, husband and wife, together for life

Forever and always, together for life
