My life hasn’t been great, nothing much to talk about
A lot of people came in and each one walked out
Happiness was temporary, hurt was permanent
Everything was ruined by the past and the present
…
But all that seemed to change when I set my sight
Upon that pretty lady who smiles so bright
I knew when you talked to me and held my hand
We’ll always be together just as God has planned
…
After all this time that we’ve spent together
I still find you beautiful more than any other
Just like the day when we first met
Yes, the day that I will never forget
💗
