My mother asked me to put a poem she had written to my father for their anniversary to song. This is what I came up with.

lyrics

Lyrics by Patti Chapman

Spray from the waterfall sparkled in your dark hair
Your eyes were as green as the leaves that surrounded you there
You smiled like a child, but you loved me as deeply as time
I want to go back to a place where our love was something fine

I held your face close, your eyes locked into my eyes
The pain and the pushing and finally our baby's first cries
The new depth of my love for you came as a total surprise
I want to go back to a place where our love was something fine

When I look at you now your eyes are shuddered and dark
I try to reach through the fortress surrounding your heart
Feelings die painfully, starved by deception and lies
I want to go back to a place where our love was something fine

If you give me your heart I will hold it inside of my own
I need you now more than anything I've ever known
The bond that we share goes way beyond reason or rhyme
I want to go back to a place where our love was something fine
