During the time I was away
I longed to hear your voice each day
Speaking to me in soft hushed tones
With a sigh and a pause my heart would moan

Needing to feel the touch of your hand
Resting in mine while our futures we plan
Feeling your breath against my skin
These feelings I have not wanting to end

Our life together is now but a dream
I love you so much my heart does sing
From now to eternity I want you with me
I want you to be the first thing I see

I can see us years later growing old together
With each passing day our lives getting better
Sitting together in our old rocking chairs
Knowing it was destiny that our lives be shared.
