By My Side |
The years they pass so quickly, a never-ending flow, So many possibilities, of where we come and go; All roads lead to adventure, choices good and poor, Where sometimes a simple act, affords us something more. Like choosing to keep in touch, now and then with a friend, Has blossomed into something wonderful, a love that will never end; With each new day that passes by, more and more I find, Many things remind me, and keep you ever on my mind. A certain love song on the radio, a rose pedal covered by dew, The sound of children's laughter, all make me think of you; The sun's sparkle off the water, and the taste of a fine wine, Brings about a remembrance of you, and a feeling, oh, so fine. Now every time I close my eyes, it is your pale green eyes I see, The memory of your sincere smile, has become the world to me; And though the distance between us, is ever so far apart, I feel your loving nearness, in the beating of my heart. So when the time has come, and we walk together hand in hand, I speak to you these words on my mind, so you will understand; No matter where the road now takes me, be it narrow or be it wide, For the rest of my life's journey, I want you forever by my side. For the lovers of the world . . . |
