• Eternally

    Welcome to Heaven
    It’s just you and I
    Watch time slow down
    And life will pass on by

    No, honey, we haven’t died
    I can still feel your heart beat
    Beat, beat, beating in time with mine
    Yes, we’re living a dream

    Through the good, the better, and best
    Through the bad, the worst, and the deaths
    Here, together, we stand hand-in-hand
    You with in your best suit and me in my best dress

    All the tears and suffocating fears
    Cannot touch us now
    I’ll be there for you forever and always
    Only by our souls are we bound

    I’ll always remember our first night
    We were just a couple of kids
    You told me the stars shine just for me
    And I’ll always remember that kiss

    Remember when you proposed?
    Sure, it wasn’t so romantic
    With our hair streaked with paint
    And our house a hurricane mess

    You closed my eyes and I made a wish
    And you painted “Love me for eternity?”
    And I painted a picture
    Hand-in-hand, there we stood, you and me

    Ah yes, the wedding was wonderful
    At least I suspect so
    In my eyes, all I saw was you
    As always, you have a golden glow

    Years pass by and it has not yet died
    Yes, my dear, we still sit side-by-side
    The world has thrown many things at us
    And still our love has not yet died

    Always will I love you
    No matter how fierce our storm
    May you be the captain of our ship
    And safely guide us home

    You’re my best friend
    And my worst enemy
    My muse, my guardian angel
    And the hero of my story

    Welcome home, my dear
    Be sure to wipe your feet
    Here’s your dinner, darling
    Sit over there while I get this cleaned

    Day after day, year after year
    Have I told you that I adore you?
    Week after week, hour after hour
    Oh my dear, you haven’t a clue

    And here we sit on the front porch
    Watching the morning sun rise
    The breath-taking hues are dull and drab
    Nothing compared to your eyes

    Welcome to Heaven
    It seems we’re lost in time
    Forever and for eternity
    It’ll be just you and I
