Story Behind The Song
My then-husband-to-be had gone through a bad divorce and though we were both head-over-heels in love, he needed some soothing assurances. So I wrote him this song, which now he sings with me.

Lyrics
YEARS IN THE FUTURE
V1 I know it isn't easy to smile,
When nothing goes the way that you plan.
But, baby, we've got love enough to last quite a while,
So if there's rocky roads ahead
We can walk them hand in hand,
CHORUS: And for YEARS IN THE FU- TURE
I can see us to - ge - ther
And no - thing else mat - ters, nothing else will do.
How I got on be fore your love, I haven't a clue
I just want to spend my YEARS IN THE FUTURE
With you.
V2 I'll admit it's been a roller-coaster ride.
But the love we share has given me faith
And the joy of riding with you keeps me here by your side,
So through all the convolutions,
That's where I intend to stay...cho.
BR Every time I see an old man walking down the street
Holding hands with the old woman by his side,
I have to stop and smile because they look so sweet.
I like to think that someday they may be you and I.
Because.....
CHORUS
CHORUS: And for YEARS IN THE FU- TURE
I can see us to - ge - ther
And no - thing else mat - ters, nothing else will do.
How I got on be fore your love, I haven't a clue
I just want to spend my YEARS IN THE FUTURE
With you.
