I Resolved To Grow Old With You

On the first day we met
I gave to you my heart
I gave to you my soul
I gave to you my love
And I resolved to grow old with you

You have been my beacon
My guiding light
You have been my friend
The love of my life
And I resolved to grow old with you

Now is the saddest time
Now my heart breaks
Now my soul cries
Now my love hurts
I so wanted to grow old with you

Now after we have parted
Your heart beats in another chest
Your soul abides above
Your love is eternal
And I must grow old alone
