Eternity Awaits Us

I see your face

And time slips away

Back to the days when I was young and happy

And full of hope

Finding my way in the world

Looking for a girl like you

To make my dreams come true

All the hard work deservese a reward

No point in slogging your guts

If you have no one to share the good times with

Preparing for the future

Bringing up a family

Taking on responsibilities we never dreamt of

Building a new future

With our children and their friends

Time passes so quickly

Take time out to enjoy ourselves

Trips abroad and precious memories

Tales to keep us warm at night

And memories to tell the grandchildren

School comes and goes and university is around the corner

Retirement approaches on the horizon

A cruise in the Caribbean or trip around the world

You are only as young as you feel

Eventually time runs out

And I leave you all alone

As I pass into another world

Hope to meet you soon

Enjoy what life remains

Eternity awaits us
