So many years, so many hardships

So many laughs, so many tears

So many things to remember

'Cause they had 50 years

Now the kids, they got their own kids

Their own kids have grown

She told him not to worry

Say he'd be fine when she was gone



He walks down to the ocean

Bends to touch the water, kneels to pray

Writes her name in sand

Waves wash it away



There are seagulls 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 cannot remember

'Cause they had 50 years



He walks down to the ocean 

Bends to touch kneels to pray

He writes her name in the sand

Waves wash it away

He writes her name in the sand

Waves wash it away
