Heaven on Earth.
- I did not promise you Heaven on Earth,
- But I promised to be true.
- Our love was a joyful birth,
- Being true was the easiest thing to do.
- I promised for richer or for poor,
- Somewhere in the middle, a pretty good score.
- Then there was for better or for worse,
- Did I ever give you grounds me to curse.
- Of course in sickness or in health,
- All was well until illness crept in by stealth.
- With children we were never blest,
- God knows we did our very best.
- A good home life was ours,
- I sometimes strewed your path with flowers.
- We stuck together through thick and thin,
- All together our life was just one big win.
- We had our love we had each other,
- Nothing could our happiness smother.
- We held hands walking down the street,
- Friends we make with the people that we meet.
- Our love shows in a beautiful glow,
- Kisses we often to each other did throw.
- Our marriage was not made on earth,
- Heaven showed us our real worth,
- No I did not promise you Heaven on Earth,
- We both know that this was a sacred birth.
- You my first and only love so sweet,
- I prostrate myself at your feet.
- Looking forward to a few more years,
- We have overcome our youthful fears.
