In the Beginning

Look in my eyes
hold me while 
the trembling leaves
We both know 
It’s time now 
to let go
Time to finish our story
Long and bold and true
Time to say
One last time
I love you

I remember the fire in your brown eyes
And I remember holding you through the night
We went way below the surface
As we wed our bodies with light
I knew then our dream was the same
We would grow up down and old 
Together
Together

I remember raising our children
We taught them what true love brings
Do you remember when they first knew
The power of simple things
I knew then our dream was the same
We were growing up down and old 
Together
Together

There were dark places
That we pushed through
Each time we reached the clear
I knew a deeper love with you
I knew a deeper love with you

I remember when the house was ours again
We made love for days on end
Time made you even more handsome
Sometimes your eyes alone could bring me home
I knew then our dream had come true
We had grown up down and old 
Together

Now I see our lifetime in your eyes
We had a full long run, didn’t we?
Now it’s time to finish our story
Long and bold and true
Time to say
One last time
I love you
