So many things taken for granted
So many things too easily dismissed
So many things that linger in my dreams
Ah, that moment when we first kissed
The feel of your lips, your mustache that tickled
Your eyes that looked at me like I was the only one
That I was the most beautiful woman you had ever seen
And when I saw you, for the first time I did not want to run
All of the hurt, all of the pain, it disappeared
You treated me like a queen, with respect and honor
You showed me love like I had only read of
I fell in love with you that August night, in summer
Marriage, children, laughter and trial
We loved, we lived, we built a life
Somewhere in the midst though
We let it be severed by anger and strife
A family broken, lives torn asunder
Vows shredded, promises thrown aside
We forgot what God had put together
But from His light we could not long hide
He healed, He restored, He brought love anew
He repaired our family, He took away the pain
He brought new life and new love
He formed a family in Him again
Children, and business and a life of ministry
What a rich, fulfilling life we led
Lives that were changed, hearts that were touched
We lived a charmed life it could be said
Those vows that we took so very long ago
For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer
In sickness and in health, until death do us part
And it's come to pass that you have entered that door
While my spirit rejoices, that in the twinkling of an eye
You were healed, restored, no longer suffering
You are now in the arms of our Saviour
My heart cannot bear the thought of your leaving
So I remember the softness of your kiss
The warmth of your calloused hand holding mine
Your eyes gazing at me with adoration
The way our very thoughts would align
I see you with your children, the love, the joy
I see you with your grandkids who you cherished and adored
I see you praying for others, strangers and friends
I see you sharing you faith and teaching the Word
I see all that still, in my mind's eye
I hear your voice saying "Gail, I love you"
I feel your arms around me, holding me tight
I hold onto those things when I am feeling lonely and blue
So one day again my husband, my love
I will be with you again
We will reunite and embrace
Rejoicing together in our Father's heaven
So many things too easily dismissed
So many things that linger in my dreams
Ah, that moment when we first kissed
The feel of your lips, your mustache that tickled
Your eyes that looked at me like I was the only one
That I was the most beautiful woman you had ever seen
And when I saw you, for the first time I did not want to run
