Fifty Years from Now
Words & Music by John Mandeville, Steve Siler,& Bill Ebert
What do you do when the fire’s gone
and passion fades away
Just being together used to be enough
But now what?
How do we feel what we used to feel
Can we learn how to care
when it seems such a long way back from here to there
Right now it feels like it would be easier
To give up and give in, but
Fifty years from now
What will we remember?
Fifty years from now
What will we have to treasure?
If we walk away from this
What will we have missed?
Fifty years, Fifty years from now
Dance recitals and T- ball games
The simple joys of the day
Will we let the best of life
just pass us by
Graduations and wedding days
Grandkids up on our knees
Will we make a huge mistake or memories?
Do we just throw away what we started
Missing us, missing out
CHORUS
God gave us this love
We need to see it through
The moment’s ours
The choice is up to me and you
CHORUS
