The Time of Love

***Collaborative by father and son...***


I'd like to tell a story
Of romance at it's best
I'll speak to you of deja-vu                  :F:
And you can dream the rest

This story is not a story
It's of truth you see
This woman who has caught my eye     :S:
And how our relationship came to be

At first it came quite slowly
Then quickened in its pace
The first time that I held you                :F:
Placed my lips upon your face

I looked into your eyes
And in translation I was lost
I felt you warmth and gentleness          :S:
my breath turned into frost

The midnight moon is glowing
Our bodies are entwined
I felt the beating of your heart              :F:
And knew that is mine

When you leave I blow you kisses
Upon returning I hold you tight
Your beauty is magnificent                   :S:
I'll adore you with all my might

Some days I'll send you flowers
The candies on its way
Our weekend trips to Mexico                :F:
Lets pack, be on our way

I'll take you to the Virgin Islands
Or to the south of France
But when we are in Mexico                  :S:
We'll do the salsa dance

We've had a few cervesas'
Three or four scotches too
In the twilight hours                           :F: 
I'll whisper I love you

See I'm a little different
I drink tequila with l lime
But when dancing ends and night time falls      :S:
You will be all mine

In the morning hours
When we decide to wake
We'll drink our coffee darling               :F:
Sweet love again we'll make

All through the night we're fixed
On fulfilling each others needs
So when the sun rises                         :S:
There are no romantic pleas

I've awakened to your pretty face
Now twenty years have past
My heart still beats our rhythm             :F:
This love is meant to last

In our older years 
When life has past us by
Our minds deteriorate and we cannot walk     :S:
But our love will never die

The hair I have upon my chin
Has quickly turned to gray
For all our years together                     :F:
It's time to finally say

We're still one pea stuck in lifes' pod
Our love is here to stay                        :S:
