As Long As You're Near The first time we met， I could see，

That you and I， were meant to be.

Your eyes were so gentle， your smile so true，

When you first held my hand， I just knew.

Now the time has gone by， through laughter and tears，

These days I shall cherish， for years upon years.

Those memories we have， shall never fade，

For those are the steps， that we have made.

That was the past， the future is near，

I anxiously wait， for what will appear.

New homes， more laughter， and children so dear，

Everything will be wonderful， as long as you're near.
