Standing Through the Ages
.
When you were seventeen
He swept you off your feet-
Then time soon slipped away
Your hair had turned to gray
He held you by the hand
Until he couldn't stand
Your feet stood strong upon the ground
The strength he lost, became your own
Devoted love you shared
Until the end
~
When I was seventeen
I saw how love could be
I saw how love should be
I grew to understand
To know how grand true love could be
I learned it all from watching you-
