I'VE KNOWN LOVE, AS WELL AS YOU,
WILL OUR NEW LOVE BE TRUE?
WILL ONE OF US, OR BOTH OF US SOMEDAY BE BLUE?
BE NOT BESET, BY DOUBT NOR FEARS
ONLY ONCE MORE, WILL THERE BE SAD TEARS,
AS YOU WILL FIND AS TIME SLIPS SLOWLY INTO YEARS.
I HAVE NO DOUBT, I HAVE NO FEAR,
OF JUST WHAT LIFE MAY BRING.
IF I DID, WOULD I OFFER YOU THIS RING?
SO DECIDE BEFORE, WE SAY I DO.
IN YOUR MIND, IS LOVE TRUE?
THIS IS THE ONLY VOW, THAT I WILL ASK OF YOU.
SO WITH THIS RING, I THEE WED,
TO BOTH OF US, I DO VOW,
TO BE TOGETHER, FOREVER, BEGINNING NOW.
TO BE TOGETHER, FOREVER, IN OUR TIME.
WHAT SADNESS THIS MUST BRING, TO SOMEONE WHO LOVES AS YOU DO,
WATCHING THE BRIGHT SHADES OF YOUTH, SLOWLY TURN BLUE.
WHILE YOU STAND AND WATCH AND WONDER, AS THE LIGHT SLOWLY DIMS,
WHAT CAN I DO OR SAY THAT CAN POSSIBLY HELP HIM?
HOW CAN I HELP HIM SEE, WHAT HE CAN'T UNDERSTAND
THAT EVEN HE MUST MAKE THE CHANGE FROM CHILD TO A MAN?
I HOPE HE DON'T THINK, THAT GROWING UP, MUST MEAN HE'S GROWN OLD,
HELP HIM REMEMBER THE THOUGHTS AND WAYS OF YOUTH HE CAN HOLD.
SOME THINGS HAPPEN DIFFERENTLY TO EACH IN OUR RACE OF MAN,
TAKE AND ENJOY EACH DAY AND EACH WAY OF LIFE, AS IT HAPPENS MY FRIEND.
