In solemn stillness, waiting
Praying for what's best
anticipating 'morrow's
trapped in winter's breath

Looking back to yesterdays
then skipping on ahead
what if's 'n could have been's
clouded thoughts of dread

On the Eve of New Year
I know not what's in store
as second hand plays leapfrog
my heart aches to the core

What will be the outcome?
will He hear my plea?
lost in a whirlwind of sorrow
I have promises to keep

Promises of forever
when two were joined as one
my heart aches for you husband
our grandchild, daughter, son

We'll walk the path of uncertainty
together, hand in hand
whisper our thoughts 'n feelings
so both can understand

Tomorrow holds no promise
yesterday, slipped away
we have today, eachother
His light within the gray

Remember when I met you?
I teased and drove you mad
can you recall our first date?
the laughter, fun we had?

Waltz with me through mem'ries
draw pictures in your mind
let yesteryears awaken
rebirth a favorite time

We'll cry our tears of heartache
share a laugh or three
hand in hand, in silence
wonder what will be

The road ahead looks bumpy
many obstacles in our way
somehow we'll cross the bridges
embrace each brand new day

Skip with me through gardens
pretend we're young again
rekindle love, sweet romance
step back where it began

We'll walk along the pathway
do what we need to do
always 'n forever
together, me and you

Our future is uncertain
we'll venture side by side
I promised you forever
when I became your bride
