Love is not just a word, it is life itself.
As I Lie Awake Beside You (with love to Barbara) By Franklin Price 05/30/2021 As I lie awake beside you And I breathe each breath you take I thank God that you're still with me And of the memories we'll make Of the times we've shared in life That our love has brought us through While looking forward to the future And the things still left to do We have always worked together For “US” to rise above the fray We've contended with all comers As we're doing still today We will bear the weight together Through our love that never fails Always reaching out and sharing Always balancing the scales Never think you are a bother Through the hurdles left to tame It's hardly ever fifty fifty That's how we've always played the game Our marriage has been give and take Through our fifty years and more If we could live forever I'd never even out the score Believe I'll always love you I'm here for you for every fight I look forward to our kisses When we go to bed at night
