Happy, Merry Anniversary

I wrote this song as a gift to my parents on their 50th anniversary. Quite an achievement!

HAPPY, MERRY ANNIVERSARY
by Joe Herbert

At times we thought you both were a bit tough
But as kids we never listened much
I can't believe how much you did for us
Then we grew up, and now we miss that stuff

In terms of parents you're a cut above
You both taught us how to live and love
It's a gift one could never give enough

And we cherish all you've given us
To be like you is what I wish for us
And we will pass it to our kids with luck

So from your kids, their wives, their kids, and me
We wish you a happy, merry, anniversary

I can't believe that it's been 50 years
You bet your ass that we'll be drinkin' beers
You have to celebrate a love like that
It's quite a feat, so please raise your glass
Here's to 50 years, mom and dad
Here's to the fears, and all the tears you had
Far outnumbered by the gaffes and laughs
50 years of marriage is quite the feat so
From your kids, their wives, their kids and me
We wish you a happy, merry anniversary

Through thick and thin you've shown us how
To weather storms and make it through somehow
Your love has been our guiding light
Through every challenge, every day and night
You built a home full of love and grace
A sanctuary in this hectic place

Your legacy of love will never fade
In our hearts, the memories are made
So raise a glass of milk, juice, beer, or wine
To toast a love that stood the test of time

So from your kids, their wives, their kids, and me
We wish you a happy, merry, anniversary

I can't believe that it's been 50 years
You bet your ass that we'll be drinkin' beers
You have to celebrate a love like that
It's quite a feat, so please raise your glass
Here's to 50 years, mom and dad
Here's to the fears, and all the tears you had
Far outnumbered by the gaffes and laughs
50 years of marriage is quite the feat so
From your kids, their wives, their kids and me
We wish you a happy, merry anniversary

Your love's a beacon guiding us through life
Through every joy, an every strife
With gratitude and love we celebrate thee
And wish you a happy, merry anniversary

Your love's a beacon guiding us through life
Through every joy, an every strife
With gratitude and love we celebrate thee
And wish you a happy, merry anniversary
