We Danced and Played

Long ago there was a girl; She was my age; We danced and played. Many years hence over bridges We went together hand-in-hand; We danced and played. Close and tight we spent our Days loving each other Wishing our love would stay; We danced and played. In the sight of God, we vowed And prayed for Him to bless us On our way; We danced and played. My every joy in her I found, Her beauty deep within me bound; We danced and played. As days grew older, And her hair grew gray, We spent our last hour together to pray. Across the bridge she said she’ll wait Till in her arms we shall be Together for all eternity.
