the lov3s of my life

pictures in letters mailed a week ago
make me laugh and smile i miss you so
i can't help but wonder when the time comes
what i'm gonna say to let you know...

that i'm falling in love...with you.

marriage brings our smiles and our tears of joy
a little giggle and a glow you never had before
she's moving you squeal as you take my hand
through your belly she already touches my heart

and i'm...falling in love again

my heart is showing and my tears are flowing
as the she puts you in my arms
so tiny, pink and pretty and so perfectly made
i can't believe i'm finally holding the life that He gave

and i'm...falling in love with you

another year or two of blissfully
growing watching waiting breathlessly
her mommy looks at me so wistfully...and says
i can't believe it buts it true...i'm expecting

and i'm falling in love again

i laughed and smiled and of course i cried
as she held onto my thumb for the very first time
another girl in my world who could ask for more
i'm more blessed than any man ever before

and i'm falling in love with you
and you
and you
again.

yes i've fallen in love...again.

keith hoak

the tears flow as my heart beats slow
we all have known this day was close
the warmth i hold proves my hands are cold
as i weakly show affection of old

i let go of your hand as i reach out for His
i feel the cold of this dead earth fade away
the warmth i feel now is never going to leave
as my feet touch heaven's shores i know i'm home

63 years we held on tight
as we sang our own song
63 years we lived as one
i can't see being two for too long

they say one day is like a thousand years
and a thousand years is like one day
that means i may have to wait a million years
or i might open my eyes with you by my side

i have to go but you must know
that before your feet even hit the sand
you'll feel my hand, helping you home
and hand in hand again we'll stand

hand in hand we will stand
