Yo, it all started back in 1975
Two young girls, full of dreams, so alive
Met for the second time at school; instant connection, no doubt
Through thick and thin, we’ve always worked it out
From passing notes to a long phone call
Always trying to have a ball
Adolescence wild, crushes on boys
Parties, too much drink and too much noise
Relationships, heartbreaks, lessons we learned
Side by side while the world turned
Fifty years; from girls to women, friends for life
Through the joy, the struggle, the love, the strife
We have watched our lives change
But our friendship has never felt strange
From wild nights to quiet nights in
Through every stage, our love will always win
Laughter, tears, stories (un)told
Side by side as we grow old
Here’s a toast to whatever life will bring
I know that what we have will remain amazing
