I love you
I cannot hold your hand
As I stumble down the street,
I cannot hold your hand
I’m unsteady on my feet,
I cannot hold your hand
With my crutches in the way,
I cannot hold your hand
As I could in yesterday.
I love you more and more
As each passing year goes by,
With each passing season
My love for you just magnifies.
The warmth of your greeting
Since I met you years ago
Stays with me forever
And just sets my heart aglow.
We have been together
Some sixty years and counting,
We have been together
And mem’ries keep on mounting.
I want to hold your hand
As I scooter down the street,
I want to hold your hand,
And once again, be complete!
