Sailing Down the Nile

Strike a match light a fire eliminate the dark
Have a dance sing a song give your life some spark

Share a laugh have some fun life will be a lark
Join with friends join with family gather somewhere in a park

Walk the street, to the beat that's in your head
Grab a partner, swing her round to the music that's been fed

Have much fun have much joy, tonight it's later into bed
Off to sleep. dreaming  romantic words that have been said

Now betrothed both determined to do it all in style
The day has now come walk together down the aisle

Honeymoon a riverboat let's go sailing down the Nile
Now you're planning for a family there'll be children in a while

Now it's time to reminisce how quickly years go by
Suddenly there are grand children for whom you sing a lullaby

Playing games all together whilst still feeling rather spry
Another life is nearing, we can't deny no matter how hard we try

Make the most of every instance make the most of every day
Deliver and receive all the love that comes your way

Let peace love and harmony surround the world without delay
A better future for ours and others families, let us hope and pray
