Story Behind The Song
My husband and I are trying to reach that goal of fifty years or longer (although we have a LONG way to go). I am always pondering the depths of our relationship, asking the probing questions that none of us like to face; like am I a forgiving person, do I trust enough, can I give 100% to make this relationship last, and so forth.

Lyrics
Fifty Years Or So
Lyin? in bed tonight, I can?t help thinking,
How our words are tearing us apart
I want love in our hearts and peace at home;
Instead of anger that boils and slowly burns
Somehow, we both need to learn. (?Cause I want)
(Chorus)
Fifty years with just one man, fifty years to settle down;
With some kids and a house with a front porch swing
I want more to life than getting? by
With long-lost dreams and love gone dry
I wonder how we make good times and let love grow?
What will it be like in fifty years or so?
I was thinkin? about my sweet Grandma;
I?m wonderin? did her dreams come true?
After fifty-one years with her man,
A house full of kids, on a patch of land
Am I like her? And will I make it too?
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Maybe the recipe for livin? is lots of lovin? and forgivin?
Maybe it?s giving more than taking
(Chorus)
