Fifty Years from Now

Recorded by Andy Denton

 

What do you do when the fire’s gone
and passion fades to gray?
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.

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,
the grand kids up on our knees,
Will we make a huge mistake or memories?
Do we just throw away what we started?
Miss us, missing out?

God gave us this love.
We need to see it through.
The moment is ours.
The choice is up to me, and you.
