Dinner For Two
In the beginning a girl meets a boy
A connection felt like shock waves
An entire lifetime seen in each others eyes
Still only babes barely out of school
Will you come with me and dine with me
Dinner just for two
Time passes on but still feels like only yesterday
What was challenging is now made easy
Together boy and girl grew
A night on the town, a little playing around
Dinner just for two
Moving on in the world, finding their places
Never straying far from each others hearts
No longer does just a girl meet just a boy
Emerges woman to man, innocence gone
Responsibilities now playing their role
Days changing all on their own
Sacrifices made a sing song trade
Dinner just for two
Life continues somewhat different from the start
Younger days gone and spent believing
In each others arms days and nights spent
Memories of a lifetime built together
Days of yesterday the same in their eyes
Destined to be together for all time
Fate uniting their hearts and souls
Stolen moments, quick kisses, sweet embraces
Dinner just for two
Learning to hold on tight through life
When everything around you changes
Sometimes time stops when the rainbow ends
The pages of their journey's story still evolving
Reality and fantasy trying to hold their own
To make for an interesting adventure
Waves of emotion wash over each other
Come let us run away, get away if only for the day
Dinner just for two

date, I don't think I did enough justice, but this is the result of my rough copy, my
apologies for the rough attempt"
