The risk of love

Here, I am in the gardens of life
The forest  putting away all my years of strife
In the forest, is where I stand
Saying to myself, ‘Oh, how life is so grand”

Here, I am, with you by my side
We have little money, but we still have our pride
In a field of grass is where I stand
Saying to myself, ‘Oh, how life is so grand”

Five years later, I walk through the valley of dark
Only to learn it’s a circle and I am lead back to where I first embarked
In the valley of darkness is where I stand
Saying to myself, ‘Oh, how life is so grand’

In the valley, I was alone, answers I sought were in front of me all along
I knew the answer I had sought, It was with her that I belong
In the valley of light, is where I stand
Saying to myself, ‘Oh, how life is so grand”

In a house, a broken down one for sure
My partner, my wife, stood by me, she finally felt secure
In a broken down house, is where I stand
Saying to myself, ‘Oh, how life is so grand’

Five years later, In a house of  golden beams
Stood myself, my wife, finally conquering our dreams
In a house of gold, is where I stand
Saying to myself, ‘Oh, how life is so grand’

A risk was taken, one that could have made me poor
Yet, I went on with my wife, knowing I could love no one evermore
By my wife, such a pretty woman, is where I stand
Saying to myself, ‘Oh, how life is so grand”
