Our Song

So far so good This life of what we did we could As we did it both together Thirty years or more we've hummed along To this our marriage song From the brightest tunes to one day one of us won't be here We've both had our ups and downs Like life notes upon the scale Some were sharp while others fell flat We always strove for the right note From octaves high to octaves low Where we learned love is so often sung like that As the the sound of our years begins to fade One of us will leave while the other stays As life here has never been a promise of forever Although forever in the heart Will be the first one to depart In the one unlucky enough to be left alone here Much too soon there'll come the song When one of us is left alone I hope it's not me and that it's you Because life without your melody Would be out of tune for me But if you do dear, please don't go too soon
