I wrote this song for my wife on our 23rd wedding anniversary.
I have been playing the piano and singing since I was thirteen years of age. My primary choice of music is southern gospel, but in the past four years I have been playing piano for a local country music band and I really enjoy it. I've written a few songs and produce my own CDs in my home recording studio.
Story behind the song
I forgot about my 23rd wedding anniversary and failed to buy my wife a gift, flowers or candy. She was quite upset with me, so to redeem myself I wrote this song for her.
Lyrics
After all these years together,
Still it seems like yesterday,
When I said I do, I promised you
That my love would last for aye.
We were young and oh so happy,
Just in love that's all we knew.
As the years have flown, where have they gone;
I am still in love with you.
CHORUS:
After all these years, after all these years,
There's no way I could have made it
Without you through all these years;
After all these years, after all these years
I'm so glad we made this journey,
I'm so glad we shared these years.
I adore your hair of silver,
Sweetest smile that's only you.
When I take your hand, your wedding band
Whispers 'yes, i love you too.'
We have walked life's road together,
Yes we've gone a mile or two.
But I would not trade the miles we've made,
Oh, the years now seem so few.
