Lyrics:

Sunset Years Of Life
Recorded by Slim Dusty and Joy McKean
Written by Joe Hayes

C F C
Mom and dad's been married 50 years today
D7 G7
And for them old time has surely slipped away
C F C
But those wrinkles they don't lie their young years have passed them by
G7 C
I can see they're growing older day by day

F C
Yes they're living in the sunset years of life
D7 G7
Heaven blessed them through the years as man and wife
C F C
Not one moment of regret and there's lots to live for yet
G7 C
Yes they're living in the sunset years of life

F C
How they loved us kids no one but us could know
D7 G7
I remember endless times they told us so
C F C
One by one we all left home we have families of our own
G7 C
But their home is our special place to go

Repeat #2

F C
It's so good that we could all be home today
D7 G7
And I wish that everyone of us could stay
C F C
For mom and dad it was a must one half hundred years of us
G7 C
It's their golden anniversary today

Repeat #2
