Please, let me imagine that we will come here again
In the warm springtime rain, or in cold winter chill,
When the ground glistens clean, and keen in the sun
When we breathe clouds of cotton and the morning is still
We will wear our astonishment, with feigned awed surprise
At the splendor that lays bare, as the frost stings our eyes
We will wear wooly jackets to keep us snug warm
While snowflake confetti will bounce off my nose
~
And you will be young, and I will be fair
You will take my two hands, and pull me aside
and kiss me and tell me how love never dies
You will promise the sun, and the moon and the stars
You will tell me you love me, that the world will be ours
~~~
We will look up through the tree tops, that whisper and bend
To see sun assure us that love cannot end
It will shine new with promise, with a soft velvet light
That a day like today, will come once again
For today is a gift, that comes from the Gods
Filled with tomorrow, and a season of love
While whipperwill music will dance through the air
And the songs of the valley, will sway in the breeze
In the hushed fading sunlight of the late afternoon
Down by the meadows where the wild flowers grow
We'll again laugh at the thunder, catching us by surprise
And be glad for the raindrops, that splash by our side
For today, has an ending, and now we must go
But let me imagine, that we’ll come here again
We will stand here together. We will marvel and praise
You will be holding my hand, as you show me the way
And you'll capture my heart, as you've captured my days
And when the times we have treasured must come to an end
We will marvel with pleasure, in our memory's glen
We will come here together........and our spirits will blend
This will be our forever.......you will be holding my hand
~~~
