50 years.....and here we stand

Life hit fast like a small-town train Miles of sunshine, storms, and rain Chasing dreams down every road Counting blessings Heaven showed Years flew by in a heartbeat rush Kids grew up and careers took off Different states, different skies Still the same spark in our eyes Tonight the past meets the present And the memories light the room We’re laughing louder than we ever did Sharing stories like we’re kids again Fifty years and here we stand Back together hand in hand Time moved on but love stayed strong And every heart still knows the song What a night to celebrate Fifty years — and it feels so great Walking in, I called your name You turned around, still looked the same High school halls came rushing back Every memory on the track Dancing shoes and shining lights Flashback to those Friday nights Jokes we told and songs we knew Every laugh felt brand new This reunion spark is glowing Like the best night of our youth We’re laughing louder than we ever did Sharing stories like we’re kids again Fifty years and here we stand Back together hand in hand Time moved on but love stayed strong And every heart still knows the song What a night to celebrate Fifty years — and it feels so great We raised a glass to friends we miss Felt their presence in every toast and kiss Shared the stories they would tell Heard their laughter in the swell Pictures out of babies grown Grandkids lighting up our phones Bragging rights and wedding rings Love survived through everything Swapping numbers, promises made Saying this time won’t fade away More adventures still to find More reunions down the line God’s been good through every mile You could see it in every smile We’re laughing louder than we ever did Sharing stories like we’re kids again Fifty years and here we stand Back together hand in hand Blessed beyond what words can say Thankful for this perfect day Hearts alive and spirits free Just like we were meant to be
