But you and I have life to hold
When you and I
Are close enough for love
Hold up well in poems and in books
Who knows where one starts and one ends
Tracing lights through sleepless nights
Not perfect yet
We shared a kiss, we shared the dance
We braved the odds and won the bet
But close enough for love
Worlds apart the night we met
Not just lovers, more than friends
We shared the body and bouquet
Not perfect yet
The greatest story never told
Long goodbyes and tearful looks
How old-fashioned, pure romance
That I'll remember always, always
And we'll taste the wine another day
