It?s been a long time since we got together
Back in Seventy-three
For all it?s worth I just can?t see
What you saw in a guy like me
But thanks to Motown music we got together
And we married in Eighty-one
So here we are forty years on
And still going strong
Forty Years on, we?re still rocking
Forty Years on, we?re not stopping
Forty years on, we?ll keep going
There?s still a lot of living to do
Through rain and shine, ups and downs
The Fates have smiled on us
We?ve sailed through life very happily
And never made too much fuss
We?ve had our kids and grandkids too
And a very fine bunch they are
We brought them up to do what?s right
And they surely will go far
Forty Years on, we?re still rocking
Forty Years on, we?re not stopping
Forty years on, we?ll keep going
There?s still a lot of living to do
We?ve been together every step of the way
We?ve had silver, ruby and next stop gold
Forty years on it?s another great day
There be lots more ? we?re not that old !!
Now nobody knows what lies ahead
What the future has in store
But whatever comes we?ll be together
That much I know for sure
Nothing on earth will tear us apart
We?ll stick to each other like glue
And come what may we?ll always know
That our love is strong and true
Forty Years on, we?re still rocking
Forty Years on, we?re not stopping
Forty years on, we?ll keep going
There?s still a lot of living to do
