Over The Years

She was seventeen
Stirring sugar in a chipped white cup
In her twenties
Laughing as her veil caught on the door
[Chorus]
She’s been loved forever
From shy first glance to silver dawn
Every year, another page
Same old song keeps rolling on
Every season, every change
Every line upon her skin
She’s been loved forever
And I’d choose her all again
In her thirties
'd fall asleep with a book in her hand
In her forties
She’d kick off heels, dance in the fridge glow
In her fifties
Booked the trip she’d always circled
In her sixties
Paint on her hands, dirt on her knees
In her seventies
She laughs when her memories tangle
Now the candles crowd the table
Names and faces blur and blend
She leans in close, whispers, "promise"
I say, "I’ll be here at the end"
she is everything
Every age we ever were
She’s been loved forever
And forever’s still with her
