Skylines and Sunsets

In the sunny summer of '72, the magic words were, "I do".                           
I was in love, young, and free.  You also were in love with me

O sweet love of my life                                                                                                                                                 Dearest friend and loving wife                                                                                                                                              

You have called me honey for 46 years                                                                                                                               So faithful and true, loving, kind, and dear

Let's cuddle and kiss till we're old and grey                                                                                                                        Let's embrace and hold hands forever and a day                                                                                                   

Let's walk around the park cause we're not tired yet                                                                                                          Let's sit out back and watch the most beautiful sunset

Remember when we sat at the Buckingham Fountain in Chicago?                                                                                       We had very few clues but our eyes were alive and bright with glow                                                                                        

We were lovebirds falling through the sands of time of the hourglass                                                                                 We were strong and had every reason to believe that our love would last                                                      

Remember those nights we parked at the lake and enjoyed the lovely skyline?                                                                      Our love and the grace of God have kept us together in the hardest of times
