The Sunset Years Of Life - Slim Dusty, Joy McKean

Mom and dad’s been married 50 years today

And for them old time has surely slipped away

But those wrinkles they don’t lie their young years have passed them by

I can see they’re growing older day by day

Yes, they’re living in the sunset years of life.

Heaven blessed them through the years as man and wife

Not one moment of regret, and there’s lots to live for yet

Yes, they’re living in the sunset years of life.

How they loved us kids, no one but us could know

I remember endless times they told us so

One by one we all left home, we had families of our own

But their home is our special place to go

Yes, they’re living in the sunset years of life.

Heaven blessed them through the years as man and wife

Not one moment of regret, and there’s lots to live for yet

Yes, they’re living in the sunset years of life.

It’s so good that we could all be home today

And I wish that everyone of us could stay

For mom and dad it was a must, one half hundred years of us

It’s their golden anniversery today.

Yes, they’re living in the sunset years of life.

Heaven blessed them through the years as man and wife

Not one moment of regret, and there’s lots to live for yet

Yes, they’re living in the sunset years of life.

Yes, they’re living in the sunset years of life.
