Lyrics

June fourth, sixty-four, caps and gowns in desert sun
Palmdale High behind us now, our real life's just begun
Beatles on the radio, Beach Boys singing loud
But all I heard was your sweet laugh rising from the crowd

Walking to the parking lot, diploma in your hand
Took a breath and found my nerve, said "here's my wedding plan"
"One year and one day from now, that's when we'll say 'I do'"
"June fifth, nineteen sixty-five, just me and you"

One year and one day, that's all we have to wait
One year and one day, then you'll be my wife
Easy to remember, hard to forget
One year and one day, then I'll be yours for life

Twelve months to plan the day, twelve months to dream
You picked the dress, I picked the ring, we made the perfect team
June fifth arrived with morning sun, when our wedding day had come
One year and one day later, love, my heart was finally home

One year and one day, that's all we have to wait
One year and one day, then you'll be my wife
Easy to remember, hard to forget
One year and one day, then I'll be yours for life

After sixty years, I still remember when
You said yes, would you say it again?
Don't need fancy promises, diamonds on a ring
Just your love and company, that's everything

One year and one day, sixty years later
One year and one day, still hard to forget
From graduation stage to grandchildren's laughter
One year and one day, the best promise we kept
Easy to remember, written in our hearts
One year and one day, it's where forever starts
