Fifty Years Songtext
von Ben E. King

We′re working on fifty years
Me and my lady, my lady
We're building a life
Me and my wife

From the day we were united
We vowed to love each other forever
And through sunshine and stormy weather
The same love brought us closer together
And with love and faith we do believe
Those fifty years we′ll surely achieve

(We're working) Golden anniversaries we've been planning
(We′re working) That′s why we believe in having an understanding
(We're working) We don′t take no more separate vacations
(We're working) We don′t stand for
Interference from friends or relations

True love still exists, my woman and me will witness


And we're working on fifty years (We′re working on fifty years)
Me and my lady, my lady
We're building a life
Me and my wife

Sometimes we may disagree
But we work it all out at night
And when morning comes
We make sure everything's alright
′Cause love is the solution that stops the fight
With love and faith we both believe
That those fifty years we′ll surely achieve

(We're working) The odds may be against us making it
(We′re working) But we'll have no fears through the coming years
(We′re working) We've got a master plan
We′ll have our piece of forever
(We're working) And nothing's gonna stop
That dream or come between us never

And true love still exists, my woman and me will witness

We′re working on fifty years (We′re working on fifty years)
Me and my lady, my lady
We're building a life
Just me and my wife


We′re working on fifty years (We're working on fifty years)
Me and my lady, lady, lady, lady
We′re building a life
Me and my wife
We're working on fifty years (We′re working on fifty years)
Nobody but me and my lady, my lady
Lord knows we're building a life
Just me and my wife
It's so nice ′cause we′re doing it together
