I got lost on the Mountain Of Remember And almost perished with thirst But I found a Fountain of Memory And drank until I almost burst. I remember the day when life started -- It was 1920, I think. The chains that bound me were parted And I gayly dropped over the brink Into an Eden of Roses With an angel to walk by my side. To share with me life joys and sorrows -- T'was you Dear, My own blushing Bride. I remember the birds sang so lovely. I remember the look on your face. I remember the clothes you were wearing, A gown with a bodice of lace. I remember the times, God help me, When I failed to be true to the trust You placed in me, and in anger Said things that were cruel and unjust. I remember when you went to "The valley Of the shadow" and brought back our son. Today he is fighting out yonder Till the battle of Freedom is won. All through the years we have shared dear, Our trials, you've always been true. My only crowning achievment -- My love is Perfect for you. |
