A Million Times Over

Birds sang in a meadow

While squirrels danced to a warm breeze;

We waltzed along in languid repose

While we watched the butterflies flutter

In a field of roses, and laughed at the sight;

The crazy thing is, you didn’t meant to be there,

You decided to go on a last minute decision,

And I’m glad you did, because we had so much fun;

The day, it seemed like it would go on forever,

But when it was over, it seemed like an instant

Sometimes I think about your face,

It was so beautiful in the sunlight,

That I could stare at you only for an instant

You were so pretty, but a million times over

It just wouldn’t have been enough for me,

Remember when we walked down by the waterfall?

We climbed down to the water’s edge

Where you almost fell in when you lost your balance?

We walked down the waters edge by that one rock, remember,

It was the one my mother says is her favorite…

I got down on one knee there that day,

And ask the scariest question I ever had to ask you,

“Will you be my wife…” I was so worried you’d say, “No!”

I was so nervous my hands where shaky, but you held them

You held them and looked into my eyes and said, “Yes!!!”

I was so happy that I yelled, “Wooo!!!” As loud as I could…

Then as a tear rolled down my face, I subtly smiled

As it was all a dream, one that I have dreamed

A million times over, in sweet repose

But could dream a million times over…
