Angela Lansbury and husband Trevor Sharot on their 49th wedding anniversary. 2025, April.
A birthday's a solo event
About when you think life begins
(Unless you are born a triplet
Or have to share because you're twins)
A wedding anniversary
Is for two of us, you and me
Now forty-nine years together
Four seasons of marriage weather
We tried all thes strong emotions
Let each one take their teaching turn
Drowning in parting, in sorrow
Forgetting when passion fires burn
We've surved wars outside each other
Been bold with new paint, painted mould
You ask what are the lessons learned?
Hear my half of how truth is told
Some say marriage is a blessing
Others say that it is a curse
I've tried single but stayed married
Single friends say single is worse
In marriage two are together
In snow and sun and wind and rain
And when things are not going right
Someone listens when you complain
By now I can sort a spider
You could sew buttons on a shirt
But I think I'll sew on buttons
Whilst you clear the car wheels of dirt
A long life's not always roses
Despite what young love supposes
Things won't always stay like first seen
Marriage runs like a football team
Sometimes winners have the last word
When it seems right, one speakes for two
Now we'll trudge on for one more year
You stay with me, I'll stay with youm
-ends-.
