The years have treated you kindly
And of that there is no doubt
This day of yours is special
A good day you should flout
I wish I was there with you
To celebrate this day
To hold and hug you tight
Till come whatever may
I find myself adrift
O’er what we both could do
If ever I had a wish
I wish to be with you

I love every inch of your body
I love every inch of your hair
What oh what more can I do
To show you how much I care?
The best is what I want for you
The best is what I can to give
Why oh why do we do this
When together we can live?
I try to be the best man
In that I sometimes fall short
I want to be that best man
But stupidly I do thwart
Promise to be your your husband
In every way I can
Oh please give us this last chance
For me to be your man

I wish that we could talk
The way we used to do
Deep into darkest night
All about me and you
The dreams we had in mind
The deepest thoughts we shared
The rumors of our love
Through our talks were declared
I miss the talks that we had
I miss the time with you
I miss the moonlit walks
Please don’t say we’re through

I think of this thing ending
Of all the things we’ve done
The blame for this situation
Is not the fault of one
We both have made mistakes
We both have strayed, it’s true
I want to overcome
Our problems still with you

I wish that I was there
I wish that I could see
All the things you’re doing
To this marriage and me
The things we should be doing
We’re never going to do
Unless you find your path
And bring you back to you

I wish I could erase the pain
The heartache I have brought
The lack of trust you have in me
The anger I have wrought
I want to say I’m sorry
I know it feels so trite
I need to find a balance
With which to make it right
I regret the feelings that you have
Inadequate are not you
Inadequate though I may be
Remove this thought I must do
Too wired to sleep
Too tired to dream
The thoughts inside
They make me scream
Flashes of insight
Fleeting at best
Rush through my head
Giving no rest
I keep hitting walls
Set up in your mind
Stubbornness to the will
Of One who’s loving kind
I wish that you could see
The joy our life could bring
Testimony of our love
Like sunshine in the spring
The walls that you have built
Are strong enough to stand
The storms and the trials
Brought around by any man
If your walls don’t come down
And you aren’t able to see
You’ll not experience love
Like the kind you had with me

I sit before my desk
Nothing do
Thinking of you
Thinking of you
I long for your touch
Your tender caress
I long to feel you
My sweetest Tess
The time we spend together
The long times we are apart
Oh, will our love this weather
With this wholly brand new start
We sit apart from each other
In entirely different states
I a father, you a mother
For now that must be our fates
Soon the time will come to pass
Our time together will be
And when that time will come at last
Together there, you and me
