Remember the days when it was
just the two of us . . .
That special look we gave each other
when we said "I Do."
That special day we remember most
as if it happened yesterday.
Have we changed that much as the
years came our way?
Maybe just a little bit bolder,
sassier and wise,
Especially when our kids asked
for some of our advice.
It's a nice thought to believe
in what we hoped for,
But what a blessing to have a family
that we love and adore.
We know there is no such thing
as living a fantasy,
Only wishful thinking to keep
our sanity.
We hold on to our daydreams
of promises made,
Of future plans during the years
that has appeared and fade.
For the dreams is like a jewel box
that beholds treasures aside,
That held our life together with
a heart full of love and pride.
Yes, I remember when it was
just the two of us . . .
The wink of your eye and a tear
in mine, as you held my hand;
On that day we said "I Do."
Seems like a long time ago and yet,
It's starting to feel the same way
it did that day . . .
We've raised our children
and aged with grace,
We found ourselves changing
to keep up with their pace.
Now they have grown up and have
a life of their very own,
It's just to quiet now that we are
all alone.
Life goes on as the empty nest sydome
hits upon us too,
Cause now that they are gone
it is back to being just us two.
But our dreams will continue
as the jewel box has plenty of room,
Along with the memories of us
being that bride and groom.
Now we look forward to new adventures
as we enter the golden years,
For now we are grand-parents
for our precious little dears.
Our hearts are always with them . . . contacts and visits is an absolute must,
Cause now it's back to being . . .
Just the two of us.
