Years of Love

I brush back the hair from your brow as you sleep,
And ask the good Lord your soul to keep.
I stare in wonder of what we created,
The joy we share since the time that we dated.

How can one be as blessed as I am,
To be gifted a lover and a best friend?
I pause and I contemplate all I've been given,
Since the time we two had us a weddin'.

Oh how wonderful it is when I gaze in your eyes,
The wonders I see never fail to surprise.
My heart swells with love each time you are near,
When we are parted it's more than I can bear.

I love you my darling with all of my might,
I delight in you sweetie all day and all night.
Years together--our love has just grown,
But oh how these many years have flown.

We are so old now but what the heck,
I still love it darlin' when you kiss my neck.
I want you forever and forever you'll be,
The only love my heart will accept for me.
