110. How Many Years

How many years has it really been
Since your hand first touched my face
I remember how soft your fingers felt
As if touched by an angel full of God’s grace

How many years has it really been
Since your eyes did first look upon mine
They were the deepest blue I’ve ever seen
And sparkled liked diamonds created by heavenly divine

How many years has it really been
Since I heard your magic voice
My ears succumbed to your siren’s call
And but to follow you I had no other choice

How many years has it really been
Since you first graced me with a kiss
I remember the fear that you wouldn’t do it
But it was a moment that I’ll forever miss

How many years has it really been
Since you agreed to be my wife
Though times haven’t always been easy
I can’t imagine not having you in my life

How many years has it really been
Since we danced in the moonlight
Please forgive my failure to remember
But with you I cherish every night

How many years has it really been
Since we last shared a romantic sunset
For despite all the things I take for granted
My love for you I’ll never forget
