So many years, so many hardships   So many laughs, so many tears   So many things to remember   ‘Cause they had 50 years   Now the kids, they got their own kids   Their own kids have grown   She told him not to worry   Say he’d be fine when she was gone      He walks down to the ocean   Bends to touch the water, kneels to pray   Writes her name in sand   Waves wash it away      There are seagulls circling shrimp boats   That turn inside the bay   There’s an emptiness inside   That never goes away      He walks down to the ocean   Bends to touch the water, kneels to pray   He writes her name in the sand   Waves wash it away      So many years, so many hardships   So many laughs, so many tears   So many things he cannot remember   ‘Cause they had 50 years      He walks down to the ocean    Bends to touch kneels to pray   He writes her name in the sand   Waves wash it away   He writes her name in the sand   Waves wash it away
