40 Year Waltz
Eternal Love's Dance: Tribute to Noni and Papa Duke
Lyrics
Noni and Papa Duke a waltz for you
Noni and Papa Duke, this waltz is dedicated to you.
A dance as ancient as time's debut
The dance being performed is timeless, spanning back to the beginning of time itself.
And we here tonight dance too
We, the present audience, are also dancing along.
We are in time with you
We synchronize ourselves temporally with your experience.
'Cause in all that you do and all that you say
In everything you both do and say,
Love is the answer and the only way
Love is advocated as the sole solution and pathway.
40 is not enough
40 years together aren't sufficient,
Not enough for Noni and Papa Duke
Insufficient for the depth of Noni and Papa Duke's bond.
40 is not enough
40 years aren't enough,
Not enough for love that shines so true
Not adequate for the profound love they share.
Noni and Papa Duke a toast to you
A tribute is given through a toast for both of you.
To love as patient as the ocean is blue
Your love is likened to the patience and vastness of the ocean.
And we here tonight salute you
We, the audience, honor and recognize your presence.
We are amazed by you
We are captivated and inspired by your example.
'Cause in all that you do and all that you say
Again, emphasizing that in all actions and words,
Love is the answer and the only way
Love remains the ultimate answer and guide.
40 is not enough
Even after 40 years,
Not enough for Noni and Papa Duke
The years spent together are insufficient to encompass the depth of their bond.
40 is not enough
Once more, stressing that 40 years aren't enough,
Not enough for love that shines so true
To contain the immense and genuine love they share.
40 is not enough
Reiterating that even after 40 years,
Not enough for love that shines so true
Love, as profound as theirs, surpasses the limitations of time.
