Our First Meal Outdoors
Our lives together started off rather well
So tender is your splendid heart
I hold you so close as you are so dear
We've had many adventures together
We experienced our first encounter
With love that first fine weekend
We went out to the cabins on the lake
Having nothing but a few essentials
I saw you leave the cabin to go to the lake
So I quickly went to work with my plan
I got out the old rickety table
And put together a key place setting
With a perfect red rose in the middle
I brought out our sandwiches that we made
To eat that night under the stars
I have other plans for the trip under the sky
I secretly brought some white wine
To help down the food we will eat
Plus it will calm the nerves that we will have
I called you to our first outdoor meal together
And I’ll never forget the sight before me
You almost went into tears
I treasure that moment everyday day of my life
We ate and drank a beautiful meal
Playing footsies all the while
