Day one, I stumbled through 'hello' on 5th Avenue
Day two, we grabbed a bite to eat and talked all afternoon
Caught a movie on day fourteen
And day sixty-seven she said "I love you" to me

Oh, what a feeling
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah, what a life
Counting my blessings and knowing
Ooh, we had our ups and downs all along the way
She had a chance to leave but chose to stay
What a beautiful day
What a beautiful day

Day one-sixteen I asked her what she was doing for the rest of my life
Day one eighty-nine, oh I almost lost that girl to my foolish pride
She said "I do" on day four eighty-two
And gave me a son on day seven sixty-one

Oh, what a feeling
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah, what a life
Counting my blessings and knowing
Ooh, we had our ups and downs all along the way
She had a chance to leave but chose to stay
What a beautiful day

Day eighteen thousand two hundred and fifty-three
Well, honey that's fifty years
Yeah, here's to you and me

Oh, what a feeling
What a wonderful emotion
Yeah, what a life
Counting my blessings and knowing
Ooh, we had our ups and downs all along the way
She had a chance to leave but chose to stay
What a beautiful day
What a beautiful day

Day one, I thank God I said 'hello' on 5th Avenue
