The first time that I saw you
My heart began to race
You radiated love and happiness
From your warm and friendly face

The first time that you held me
Safe and warm within your arms
Love had claimed another victim
As you seduced me with your charms

The first time our lips met
I felt the passion rise within
To have these feelings of desire
Must surely be a sin

The first time we watched the sun
Settle slowly beneath the sea
It was at that very moment
That your heart belonged to me

The first time we made love
Beneath the pale moonlight
To you my heart surrendered
On that balmy Summer's night

The years pass by so quickly
But our love will never age
We look forward to each chapter
As we turn another page

"In the end, nothing we do
or say in this lifetime
will matter as much
as the way we have
loved one another"
