The Swing

From the swing

I saw you the first time

And my heart stopped beating

And my life began to shine

On the swing
You sang me the song
To cheer me up
When I was down

At the swing
You knelted down
Eyes full of love and hope to bring
Proposing me to be your own
...Forever

Near the swing
The children grew
And days on days to come
They finally leave our happy home
To make on their own

On the swing
We sat in silence
Watching the darkness of night
Hand in hand

Tightly clasped

Seems to never let go again

On the swing
I'm waiting
For my time to be with you
My beloved, oh so true.
