I REMEMBER

I remember as a young man dreaming of falling in love

my dreams were for a special girl made in heaven above

the kind of girl you come by only once in a while

then she walked into my life with her precious smile.

I remember when I first saw her in the middle of the room

next to the dance hall, where we’d dance our love tune

and when we became friends how it was never enough

as I had already fallen in love.

I remember how she smiled when she danced a certain way

and when we became a couple, one September day

I had at last got something in my life so right

I could hold her in my arms, not just in my dreams at night.

I remember when we were married, how it rained and rained all day

but we did not let it spoil our very special day,

I looked back down the aisle, as she came to me dressed in white

and was greeted by her smile, shining through her veil so bright.

I remember how much I loved her, so glad that she was mine,

I remember I gave a promise to love her for all time.

I remember and I will, for no one could love her more

and I’ll hold her in this heart of mine, for now and evermore.
