Song lyrics: "Ruth and Sam", a 30th anniversary song
Verse 1
Summer of '96, the county fair, Sam threw rings and missed them every time. Ruth just laughed and tossed one from her chair, Won the goldfish for a single dime. He said, "Well, I guess I owe you a dance," She said, "Only if you lead me right." Neither one of them stood a chance: They were dancing till the end of night.
Chorus
Thirty years and you're still turning Like the wheel above that fair, Thirty years, the lights still burning, Ruth and Sam, you're always there.
Verse 2
Then a rented house with a leaking roof, And a crib you painted in the hall, Three kids running round as living proof That a goldfish really started it all. Late shifts, school runs, birthday cakes, Saturday pancakes, Sunday rain, Whatever life would give or take, You found each other's hand again.
Chorus
Thirty years and you're still turning Like the wheel above that fair, Thirty years, the lights still burning, Ruth and Sam, you're always there.
Bridge
And if the music ever slows, If the lights go dim someday, We know just how the story goes: He'll take her hand and lead the way.
Verse 3
Tonight the garden lights are glowing, The grandkids chasing round the tree. Dad blames his tears on wind that's blowing, And Mom just winks across at me.
Final chorus (×2)
Thirty years and you're still turning Like the wheel above that fair, Thirty years, the lights still burning, Ruth and Sam, you're always there.
Performance note: the chorus works as a sing-along; the last line can be repeated slowly a cappella to finish.

The client and all details are made up.
About this service
Short speculative fiction has to build a world in a few paragraphs: one strange rule shown through a character's choice is worth more than a page of history, and the ending must answer the question the premise raised. We write an original fantasy or science fiction story from your idea, whether a quiet hard sci-fi piece, a fairy-tale retelling, cosy fantasy or a space adventure, with the world revealed through action and dialogue rather than exposition. You get a complete story for your anthology, newsletter, podcast reading or as a gift for a reader in your life.
