A blessed candle burning alights her golden band
Her beads and Book of Prayer are resting in her hand
He pulls a chair beside her to sit with her a while
She turns her feeble body close to give him one last smile
As he held her wedding finger softly he did say
I remember when you said ?I do? - seems like yesterday
When you took my name that morning my heart did overflow
And I still feel the way I did - sixty years ago
Verse
With a damp white cloth he soothes her his soul mate, his best friend
Her suffering now is over, he knows this is the end
She said ?They're here to take me, it's time to say goodbye?
One last breath, a gentle kiss, a tear falls from his eye
As he held her wedding finger softly he did say
I remember when you said ?I do? - seems like yesterday
When you took my name that morning my heart did overflow
And I still feel the way I did - sixty years ago
As he held her wedding finger softly he did say
I remember when you said ?I do? - seems like yesterday
When you took my name that morning my heart did overflow
And I still feel the way I did - sixty years ago
Yes I still feel the way I did - sixty years ago
