I wrote this for a golden wedding. Alzheimer's meant Don no longer knew Hilary, his wife.
I wrote this song for my sister and brother-in-laws for their golden wedding anniversary. My husband's brother, Don developed Alzheimer's and survived with it for over ten years but no longer recognised members of the family which was really hard for his wife, Hilary as they had a very loving and happy marriage. I wanted to give a meaningful present at such a difficult time. I wrote the lyrics and composed the melody and it is played and sung by a very talented musician, James Gladson who also arranged, recorded and and produced the song.

Golden Years

If only I could give you back a time from yesterday
What would you choose to relive?
Would it be a morning from some sunny holiday?
If only it were in my power to give you a time from yesterday.

You both had each other and your careers
And I know there was more happiness than tears,
Then children came along
Your love sang its sweet song
As together you lived those golden years.

If only I could give you back a time from yesterday
What would you choose to relive?
Would it be a morning from some sunny holiday?
If only it were in my power to give you a time from yesterday.

You both had so much fun with family
Sharing time the way that it should be
And now they’re fully grown
With young ones of their own
Oh how quickly time has turned to memories.

If only I could give you back a time from yesterday
What would you choose to relive?
Would it be a morning from some sunny holiday?
If only it were in my power to give those days again.

If only I could give you back your time from yesterday,
If only it were in my power to give
You back those special moments that time has locked away
Then you would be able to relive your golden years from yesterday.

If only it were in my power to give
You back your golden years from yesterday.
