When the Sparks No Longer Fly

From the moment I met you Stared into those eyes of crystal blue You were the one I have been waiting for My heart has braved rough waters, you are my beacon to bring it to shore We walked and talked, sharing our life long dreams We both worked, went to college, we valued every moment in between Now you have become my bride, I have become your groom Love is like a beautiful instrument, must keep it in tune Here we come up on our tenth anniversary Three kids, two cars, rehearsals and PTO meetings Somewhere along the line, we forgot us, our romance gone awry What comes next, when the sparks no longer fly I believe we've gotten comfortable, doing the same old routine This is not the fairy tale marriage, the vision we seen We need to find that fuel and warm our hearts together Let's huddle as one and brave the stormy weather It all comes down to where is our time In the beginning we were one with our hearts and minds It won't get any easier as more time passes by How do you warm two cold hearts when the sparks no longer fly Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, whose to blame We were both responsible as keepers of the flame Lack of communication, each of us on different terms No fire present but we both felt burnt Now our lives are cold, empty and dry Where do we seek the warmth of shelter when the sparks no longer fly
