Fate brought us together,
in love, marriage and language
forever to be.
Ma Cherie, je vous aime avec tout mon coeur!
(My Darling, I love you with all my heart!)
That, anyone can see.
Fifty three years it will soon be.
Every waking moment of every hour,
every hour of everyday and years in all,
a celebration of my love, I sent to you
on the wings of a snow white dove.
Those years spent in your homeland
were sweet as wine and roses.
Enchanting candlelight dinners
in a quaint café on the sidewalk
of the Champs Elysees.
Holiday on the Reviera,
weekends spent browsing
the sights and sounds
of Paris, and the river Seine
in the warm summer rain.
These are memories my love,
of a time in our hearts that will
stand still until death do us part.
Je’t’aime pour toujours!
I’ll Love You Forever!
And forever la vie en rose.
