from 20 to INFINITY and BEYOND...

Folks say “take me back to when I was young.
Please bring back yesterday,
back to my youth and childhood,
and then let it stay that way.
I can understand their longing, but for me, I don’t agree,
because my yesterdays and childhood
were before there was you and me.

Those folks remember the days of high school,
of sports teams and dating and prom,
the days before gray hair and wrinkles,
are the memories of which they’re most fond.
And though my childhood and teen years were good,
the time MY best memories start
is the very first day that I met you
and you promptly walked off with my heart.

So bring on tomorrow, let yesterday go, I can’t wait to see what’s in store,
& knowing I’ll share my tomorrow’s with you,
please bring at least one million more.

For 20 years now, I’ve awakened each morn
knowing that God has blessed me again,
to spend one more day, in this marvelous world
with you as my lover and friend.
Each night I’ve lain down with such hope in my soul
and a peaceful smile on my face
and as I lay there beside you reliving the day,
I could simply be no better place.

No I don’t want to go back to the old days
and I don’t want time to stop or stand still,
I want the days to keep coming my way,
because every moment with you is a thrill.
Yes, you may think I’m wishing my life away,
but really, how bad can that be?
In the end, by God’s grace, is a heavenly place.
In between, it’s just you and me.

So bring on tomorrow, let yesterday go, I can’t wait to see what’s in store,

& knowing I’ll share my tomorrow’s with you,
please bring at least one million more.
