| A bottle of wine and two glasses
|
| Potato salad and that old picnic basket
|
| Sunday afternoon spread a blanket for so many years that we tend to lose track
|
| of it
|
| Those years turn dreams into memories
|
| Much oblige for every one you spent with me
|
| Cant believe the kids that were at our feet all moved out and began their own
|
| family
|
| It still feels like just yesterday
|
| I stood in that mirror practicin' what to say
|
| Just know when I live for the moment
|
| My eyes glowed, held out my hand and felt yours on it
|
| You don’t know the power a touch like that
|
| You have on a lovestruck lad
|
| Everything I ever used to care about fade to the back
|
| I feel that way to this day, matter of fact
|
| Laughter and tears we had through the years
|
| Like magnets, attract without fear
|
| The sun light that magically appeared
|
| I recall it all and I’m glad that you’re here
|
| Laughter and tears we had through the years
|
| The feeling of companion is near
|
| The first touch, that cant be compared
|
| I recall and I’m glad that you’re here
|
| That old tree witnessed the first love we made
|
| I pulled out my pocket knife, gave it my name
|
| But like all trees, he went and grew rings and that carving got harder to read
|
| from far away
|
| And the stress of this world, it pressed you
|
| Made you forget you possessed something special
|
| And all of this mess, you tended to neglect the blessing that slept directly
|
| next to you
|
| So I’m painfully ignored by a girl masquerading as the lady I adore
|
| And even though I lived as your husband
|
| I cant help missin' the kiss I fell in love with
|
| What was once huggin' and kissin'
|
| One day made way to fussin' and bickerin'
|
| Now cussin' and no one’s listenin'
|
| Lost all grip on love in the midst of it
|
| Laughter and tears we had through the years
|
| The challenges you have interfere
|
| The heartbreak and anguish we shared
|
| I recall it all and I’m glad that you’re here
|
| Laughter and tears we had through the years
|
| We snapped and reacted out of fear
|
| Broken promises can’t be repaired
|
| I recall it all and I’m glad that you’re here
|
| Those things that we say when we argue
|
| Never go away, they become part of you
|
| Furthermore with every new scar it grew ever harder to open my heart to you
|
| I need you to believe me when I tell you that
|
| I didn’t step out on you to get you back
|
| I was just hungry for affection that the first time another gave attention,
|
| I was in the trap
|
| I let her stand in for you
|
| Trying to recapture the magic that I knew
|
| Thats why I fell for it because
|
| When she held me in her arms, I pretended they were yours
|
| I don’t fault you for being mad at me
|
| We were a family, I put you through a tragedy
|
| Can’t blame you for losing sanity
|
| Rolling me over in my sleep and stabbing me
|
| Laughter and tears we had through the years
|
| Everytime our anniversary nears
|
| You show up with a picnic basket and a beer
|
| I recall it all and I’m glad that you’re here
|
| Laughter and tears we had, it appears
|
| The best talks I’ve had with you in years
|
| Are right here where you laid my casket my dear
|
| I’ll save you a place and catch you when you’re here |
