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
A holiday story is usually read aloud on one particular evening, so it needs a cosy pace, a small problem that gets solved by kindness or a bit of wonder, and an ending that leaves the room smiling. We write original Christmas, New Year, Hanukkah or other holiday stories for a family to read together, for a school concert or for a brand to send to customers, with your names, town or products woven in if you like. Reading time is estimated, so you know it fits the evening.

Questions and answers
Can a brand send it to customers?
Yes. We keep your product a natural part of the story, not an advert, so customers enjoy reading it.
Can it be non-religious?
Yes. Tell us in the brief, and the story focuses on winter, family and kindness rather than religious themes.
