Together

As you're lying next to me so still
I contemplate our life
So many years ago
you said you'd be my wife

As we rise in preparation for
another fruitful day
you smile and take my hand
beside me all the way

And as we run into life's obstacles
we've proven we're unstoppable

We both know we're at the threshold of
the winter of our lives
and yet we share the fear
since we're together dear

Still the time will come some future day
when one of us must go
I pray that it be me
there's just no way to know

And so we live to love another day
so happy that our lives turned out this way

I want to go first too, but I'm so bad. I rather leave him my mess, than the other way around. Hope you and Carol walk into P. together.
