Golden 50th Wedding Anniversary Gift Song

GoldenLove

Words and music by Roy W. Johnson

 Songs of young love, unrequited love, broken love, cheating, and divorce abound, but where are the songs about love that lasts?  Well, here is one.  "Golden Love" is a 50th Fiftieth Golden Wedding Anniversary Gift Song honoring a love that lasts a lifetime. The recording was done by professional musicians in a soft country style.   What's more, you can add "then" and "now" pictures and your own personal inscription to the CD label, the jewel case back, and the lyrics (which can be framed), to make a Golden Wedding anniversary gift that is truly unique. More than 150 copies of the song have gone to 30-some states, Canada, England, Wales, Scotland, India, and Poland. (I even have a Polish translation of the song in case such should be needed.) Reactions have always been good; many responses indicate that it brought tears to the eyes of the recipients and sometimes the guests also.

You can read the lyrics by scrolling to the bottom of this page. To hear the song and read about the enhancements, click here to go to my web site.  Normal turn-around time even with pictures and enhancements is two days.

The base price of $18.99 plus $2.99 Shipping/Handling gets you the CD in a see-through sleeve and a copy of the lyrics with ring-heart logo in color. I will also send the lyrics as an email attachment for you to personalize and print as many copies as you like. If you want to add enhancements as per the web site, you can add a plastic "jewel case" with lyrics on the back, pictures, or whatever you like.

To read the lyrics, scroll down to the end of this description. NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO ADD ENHANCEMENTS PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL WE HAVE WORKED OUT THE DETAILS.

Suggestions:

• If there will be dancing, play the song while the couples are on the dance floor. It is in waltz time.
• Make extra copies of the lyrics, pass them out, and have a sing-along. You might want to play the song through first.
• Have a copy of the lyrics framed or buy a frame and present it along with the CD to the honored couple. I can supply lyrics with pictures of the honorees and/or a personal inscription.
• Personalize the CD and printed lyrics with the enhancements that I offer for an absolutely unique gift. Add pictures and/or personal messages. How about a picture of the couple as they were 50 years ago and as they are today? I can put your scanned images to the left and right of the title and logo at the top of the lyrics, on the CD itself, on the back insert of the jewel case. (see examples below lyrics).

Here are examples of enhancements that can be added. Lyrics are below.

Silk and satin will decay, iron and steel will rust away,
And the dawn will even fade the stars above
But gold's a substance that endures and keeps its luster through the years
And that is why I treasure so your Golden Love

Yes, Gold's a substance that endures and keeps its luster through the years,
And that is why I treasure so your Golden Love

It was 50 years ago I heard you say "I love you so",
We took our vows and we prayed to God above,
Wealth and treasure had we none, no gilded mansion was our home,
But we were rich beyond compare with Golden Love

Yes, Gold's a substance that endures  and keeps its luster through the years,
And we were rich beyond compare with Golden Love

Troubles came down through the years but love would wipe away the tears
And lift us up like the wings of a dove,
When we felt life's storm winds blow you'd whisper soft "I love you so"
And I knew we'd see it through with Golden Love.

Yes, Gold's a substance that endures, and keeps its luster through the years,
And we knew we'd see it through with Golden Love.

As we traveled this life through our Golden Love forever grew
And filled our lives like a hand fills a glove,
Now that we are growing gray on our golden wedding day,
I love you still and always will with Golden Love

Yes, Gold's a substance that endures and keeps its luster through the years,
I love you still and always will, with Golden Love.

I love you still and always will with Golden Love
