As Long As You're Near The first time we met， I could see，

    That you and I， were meant to be.

    Your eyes were so gentle， your smile so true，

    When you first held my hand， I just knew.

    Now the time has gone by， through laughter and tears，

    These days I shall cherish， for years upon years.

    Those memories we have， shall never fade，

    For those are the steps， that we have made.

    That was the past， the future is near，

    I anxiously wait， for what will appear.

    New homes， more laughter， and children so dear，

    Everything will be wonderful， as long as you're near.
