I tripped and fell in a field of wild flowers
You laughed and teased, calling my name
A boy and a girl playing freely for hours
Would we one day return here again?

A simple ring of dandelion stems
I gave to you with this innocent vow
"To the best of hearts and the best of friends
Comes lasting love, starting from now"

Years past, so fast we grew into towers
So straight and tall and rigid it seems
And days of play in fields of wild flowers
Disappeared and replaced with material things

Yet that vow came back in a dream to haunt me
One night as I slept curled up next to you
I awoke and prayed that you would still want me
To take you back to where dreams come true

In the car we went for a few short hours
It took all my strength to hide the surprise
To the field to play in the field of wild flowers
Our vow was renewed with tears in our eyes

I'm listening to nature music to relax, and I just loved this one, Mike, thank you!

This is beautiful, Mike! She is one lucky woman, that's for sure!

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk in the room...
