It was born in a heady exuberance
(Was the earth reaching to touch the heavens?)
It flowed in joy and gurgling smiles
Like the sweet babble of an innocent child
It took down the walls along its way
And off our feet, we were swept away
In time, it slowed and steadied its course
In its cradling arms, new life arose
Come flood or drought, it kept flowing on
Burrowing deeper, and growing strong
We drifted along its meandering ways
On some dark nights, many blessed days
And now it is the boundless sea
No waves ripple through the peace
The calm sea breeze lifts us high
We float under the clear blue sky
As drops in the ocean, two kindred souls
That have merged to become one happy whole
Oh, how wondrous the paths of destiny
That've brought us together, you and me
Through laughter, joy, and some aching tears
Look how much we've grown over the years
From the hills to the sea, as the river flows
Our love has indeed walked a beautiful course
