Togetherness




A song heard on the radio made time melt away,
I was twenty-one again, it was a summer's day.
We sat together on the beach looking out to sea,
A newly- married couple planning how our lives would be.
We sat there in the sunshine building castles in the air,
Making plans to change the world, you'd be a millionaire.
My dream was not for fortune, but a happy love-filled life,
As we began our future as a new husband and wife.
When the music ended, I came back from the past,
Where had all the years gone? Time had flown so fast.
Each summer we go back again to that sunny shore,
And we sit there , remembering all those years ago.
Although we didn't change the world, you're not a millionaire,
But when I am in your arms I don't have a care.
We had so many hopes and dreams, some of them came true,
We're still together and I'm glad I've shared my life with you.
