Anniversary Song

 

Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed;

We vowed our true love though a word wasn't said.

The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies

Except for the few that were there in your eyes.

 

Dear, as I held you so close in my arms,

Angels were singing a hymn to your charms,

Two hearts gently beating were murmuring low,

"My darling, I love you so."

 

The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn;

The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on.

Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime,

We'd find that our love is unaltered by time.

 

Dear, as I held you so close in my arms,

Angels were singing a hymn to your charms,

Two hearts gently beating were murmuring low,

"My darling, I love you so."
