So many years so many hardships

So many laughs so many tears

So many things to remember

Cause they had fifty years

​

And now the kids have got their own kids

And their own kids, they are grown

She told him not to worry

Said he’d be fine when she was gone

​

He walks down to the ocean

Bends to touch the water

Kneels to pray

He writes her name

In the sand

Waves wash it away

​

There are sea gulls circling shrimp boats

That turn inside the bay

There’s an emptiness inside

That never goes away

​

He walks down to the ocean

Bends to touch the water

Kneels to pray

He writes her name

In the sand

Waves wash it away

​

So many years so many hardships

So many laughs so many tears

So many things he can not remember

Cause they had fifty years

​

He walks down to the ocean

Bends to touch the water

Kneels to pray

He writes her name

In the sand

Waves wash it away

​

He writes her name

In the sand

And waves, they wash it away

​
