Lyrics
Everybody gather round Lift your cups up off the ground I have known you both so long Now I get to sing this song She lights up when he walks in He's got the biggest, softest grin Two good hearts that found their way To this golden wedding day So hold it high, hold it high Underneath the evening sky Raise a glass to the two of you Raise a glass, and the love is true Hey, hey, here's to you Raise a glass to the two of you Dance all night, the whole night through Hey, hey, here's to you He saves her seat, she saves his plate They are never, ever late For each other, every day That's the secret, so they say Auntie's crying happy tears Cousins cheering, loud and clear Little ones in dancing shoes Nothing here we want to lose So hold it high, hold it high Underneath the evening sky Raise a glass to the two of you Raise a glass, and the love is true Hey, hey, here's to you Raise a glass to the two of you Dance all night, the whole night through Hey, hey, here's to you May your kitchen smell like Sunday May your laughter fill the hall May you always find each other When the music starts to fall Raise a glass to the two of you Raise a glass, and the love is true Hey, hey, here's to you Raise a glass to the two of you Dance all night, the whole night through Hey, hey, here's to you Here's to you Here's to you
