Lyrics
I dry my eyes and sigh to our of love song, that brings back sweet memories of yore.
It takes me to our cedar chest where you left them with the old wedding dress you once wore.
Our love letters beside our old Bible and your locket has my picture in it too,
Thank you for making life such a pleasure, our love song still reminds me in everything was you.
CHORUS
I see you walking through my mind in melody and rhyme. Love that shatters even time knows your heart is mine when I hear our old love song.
VERSE 2
I'm brought back to the vows we shared together. Our promises sealed by your old wedding ring. Thank you again for making life such a pleasure. You are my music and you're the song I sing.
CHORUS
