The story in this song
In Peter and Janet’s wedding photograph, the blue bow tie is enormous and Janet is already laughing. Their children, Daniel and Claire, have heard the story behind it more times than they can count. This fiftieth-anniversary song is for the friendship they grew up watching: the jokes, the eye rolls, and two people who still look for each other across a room.
Make a 50th anniversary song for your parents from the memories your own family shares.
Lyrics
There's a picture of your wedding Nineteen seventy-six Dad, that blue bow tie is bigger Than the smile you're trying to fix Mum is laughing at the camera Or at something you just said We have heard about that joke for years And we still don't get it yet
She says, "Peter, don't you start" But she's smiling before you do
You still make her laugh Like you've only just met Janet shakes her head at you Then you make her laugh again After fifty years of living And a thousand things to do You still make her laugh And she still looks for you
At the end of every school play We could hear you from the back Mum would nudge you with her elbow Then she'd join in with your laugh You could turn a broken kettle To a story told for weeks We were rolling both our eyes But we were listening underneath
Now we catch the same old lines Coming out of our own mouths
You still make her laugh Like you've only just met Janet shakes her head at you Then you make her laugh again After fifty years of living And a thousand things to do You still make her laugh And she still looks for you
We know it wasn't all a party We know some days were hard But we'd find you in the kitchen Talking softly in the dark You were more than Mum and Dad You were friends before we came And the best part of this evening Is watching that again
You still make her laugh Like you've only just met Janet shakes her head at you Then you make her laugh again Fifty years, and all your children Know the sound that sees us through You still make her laugh And she still looks for you
Go on, Dad, tell that one again She's laughing before the end
