Heart 2 Heart
We stood at the altar in love face-to-face
Declared our love, fidelity, and devotion
Forty years of absence could not erase
What we believed God had set into motion
Years later, we get to walk hand-in-hand
Living out our sweet golden years together
We will remain a permanent and indelible brand
The time we lost isn't relevant or able to recover
Like two bookends, we stand back-to-back
If variety is the spice of life, we are seasoned
Pool our earthly assets, so we never know lack
Trust and commitment are the ultimate reasons
We don’t always see things eye-to-eye
Nor agree with each other’s point of view
We never get too angry to say good-bye
Childish or petty conflicts yield no value
Meshed together to remain side-by-side
Only death can separate us from this union
If we keep God as the center; His love abides
Vowing to be each other’s love and companion
