lyrics

She said ‘you fit me like a glove’ he said ‘you fit me like a mitten’
They ain’t always been in love but tonight they’re feelin smitten
It’s been 53 years since they walked down the aisle

When she was just a little girl she dreamed of a handsome prince
But she ended up with Earl and she hasn’t looked back since
Since it seemed convenient she just stuck around
He kept her laughing, she fell in love with what they found

And now the fire’s down to embers but it’s hot just the same
And the mountain’s slowly crumbling to the sea
And the stars are burning out way up in the Milky Way
But new stars are being born everyday
I hope it’s always gonna be that way

Now he’s still whispering the lines that use to always make her blush
But she’s heard so many times it doesn’t give her quite the rush
That it use to, but she still likes to hear

Their hair is gray with speckled strands, their eyes are sparkling in the light
They still go walking hand in hand, they’re still kissing goodnight
And it’s been 53 years since they walked down the aisle
It’s been 53 years, he still loves to make her smile

Chorus
