The Rest of My Life

Listen to poem:
The rest of my life. Every time, I think about you, pleasant thoughts come to mind... You're everything I ever wanted, my dreams come true night after night... You'll always have my lovin' baby... you wiped the tears from my eyes So, I'll tell you right now... I'll give you the rest of my life Chorus Oh now my love, my love you've got the rest of my life Oh now my love, my love Give you the rest of my life You opened the door, to what love had in store Just look at all that we've found Happiness lies right here in your eyes With you I'm forever bound The past is gone and now we look beyond... The future is ours to ignite So I promise you now... I'll give you the rest of my life. Chorus Oh now my love, my love You've got the rest of my life Oh now my love, my love Give you the rest of my life Oh now my love, my love(with you) I'll spend the rest of my life Oh now my love, my love Give you the rest of my life chorus repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton November 11,2016

Wonderful, beautifully expressed. Dad thought it had a country beat. As you know our 55th anniversary is coming up soon. Mar 19th. Be soooo nice to have this played then. xoxox Mom

Very cool, this one has a upbeat feel to it, not so much a slow love song. Am I right? Nicely composed John.

Yeah it's easy going, slow to medium tempo, kind of country feel that's how I imagine it. Thanks for the positive feedback.
