KEEPING OUR LOVE ALIVE

The first time that I looked into your eyes
I simply saw the lady of my life
I knew we would settle down someday
A husband and a wife

That time is more than 20 years away
and we have kept our love alive
through every passing day
and even in the darkest of times
We've kept our love alive

You know that I love you Loretta
and I know you love me
I remember the first time I proposed
On the bridge above the creek

Here we are today with friends and family
Giving something back to those
who have meant so much to you and me
Another celebration of our life
One more affirmation of a husband and a wife

If I got down on my knees right now
Would you marry me
If I made my innermost commitment
would you wear my wedding ring

You know that old trees just grow stronger
and old rivers, wilder every day
and two people
who have been in love this long
Find a way . . . Find a way
