Halfway Home

You wore your heart on the sleeve
Of the shirt you gave to her
The hand of the piano man
Brought the both of you together

You broke down on the highway
When he gave you that diamond ring
On your way across to see The Boss
Who you told everything

As the leaves fell from the trees
You found your spot in the woods
And stayed together for so long
But we all knew you could

Another year another candle for the cake
It's hard to make it that far in this life of give and take
But against the odds you kept the bonds
It's a love that most can't find
It's crazy when you realize
You've been together half your lives

Then the ages carried on
And time took its toll
But don't worry if you should fall behind
Cause your love cannot grow old

You came together in Autumn
And found your house in Spring
So I put your lives into this song
Even though I can't sing

Another year another candle for the cake
It's hard to make it that far in this life of give and take
But against the odds you kept the bonds
It's a love that most can't find
It's crazy when you realize
You've been together half your lives

Albums full of photographs show all the joys and tears
But there's more room for the future and 25 more years

I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad
In sickness and in health
I will love you and honor you all the days of my life
And now I pronounce you husband and wife

Another year another candle for the cake
It's hard to make it that far in this life of give and take
But against the odds you kept the bonds
It's a love that most can't find
It's crazy when you realize
You've been together half your lives
