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.

About this service
French and Italian sing very differently from English: French lines are counted in syllables, the silent final 'e' can be sung or dropped, and the stress falls at the end of a phrase, while Italian lines end in open vowels and depend on whether a word is stressed on its last or second-to-last syllable. We write original lyrics directly in French or Italian rather than translating, for chanson, pop, ballads or a song for a wedding or a holiday. A line-by-line English or Russian translation comes with it, so you know exactly what you are singing.

Questions and answers
Can the song mix French or Italian with English?
Yes, say which parts should be in which language, such as English verses and a French chorus.
Do you add a pronunciation guide?
On request we add simple sound-alike spelling for tricky words, but practising with a recording or a teacher works best.
Can you translate an existing song?
We write original lyrics. Translating someone else's song for release needs the rights holder's permission.
