Janice

It started way back in the third grade

The foundation of a friendship laid

More than fifty years have come and gone

And side by side, we're still going strong

I look back on the time that's passed

It’s rare to find a bond that lasts

Through every season and every trend

I am so grateful for my best friend

Oh Janice, we’ve seen the good and the bad

Shared every joy and the times we were sad

Jesus blessed us fifty-plus years ago

And I just really need to let you know

I appreciate you, plain and true

There ain't nobody in the world like you

When the skies are clear or the days grow rough

I love ya, Buddy, and that's enough

Life gave us mountains that we had to climb

And valleys that tested us from time to time

Through all the heartache and the happy tears

We held together across the years

You never walked away when things got tough

When the road we traveled was steep and rough

I look at you and I have to smile

You make every single step worthwhile

Oh Janice, we’ve seen the good and the bad

Shared every joy and the times we were sad

Jesus blessed us fifty-plus years ago

And I just really need to let you know

I appreciate you, plain and true

There ain't nobody in the world like you

When the skies are clear or the days grow rough

I love ya, Buddy, and that's enough

Fifty-plus years is a long, long ride

But I wouldn't trade who's by my side

I thank the heavens up above

For a lifetime of friendship and of love

Yeah, the Lord knew exactly what He was doing then

When He gave me you, my very best friend

Oh Janice, we’ve seen the good and the bad

Shared every joy and the times we were sad

Jesus blessed us fifty-plus years ago

And I just really need to let you know

I appreciate you, plain and true

There ain't nobody in the world like you

When the skies are clear or the days grow rough

I love ya, Buddy, and that's enough

Yeah, fifty years later, we're still going strong

I love ya, Buddy, right where you belong
