The older folks smile with eyes shining bright
They've so many stories to tell.
They've lived all their lives
with a faith that survives
Good shepherds to us as well.
The fireweed fades on those
warm summer days
It's autumn this time in their lives.
When two become one, their love is so strong
That forever isn't very much time.

Queen Anne's Lace,
Her favorite flower in their favorite place.
Queen Anne's Lace,
So tender and dear, it blooms every year
In the alpenglow shade of the
mountains and glades,
A love like that never dies.
Queen Anne's Lace,
So fragile, lovely, and fine.

When the fireweeds fades on those
warm summer days
You know, autumn is coming again.
They walk by the stream,
and talk of their dreams
So many have come true for them.
He stares in her eyes to see her surprise
as he places the flowers in her hair.
Their youth may be gone,
but their love is so strong
That it's carried them 56 years.

Queen Anne's Lace,
Her favorite flower in their favorite place.
Queen Anne's Lace,
So tender and dear, it blooms every year
In the alpenglow shade of the
mountains and glades,
A love like theirs never dies.
Queen Anne's Lace,
So fragile, lovely, and fine.
