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.
