Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
And baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Now nothing can change what you mean to me
Oh, there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way

And baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe

@RealSuperRando

This was my wife’s favorite song. She said it was our song and it was. The night I proposed to her, at an Italian restaurant at dinner with our 2 best friends, I had made an arrangement with the restaurant manager to play this for me over their audio system and told him why. When the song started playing she stopped in mid sentence and paused, then said she loved this song as she had told me before. I was sitting there while the song played waiting for the right moment. The manager dimmed the lights except the ones around our table. She looked around the restaurant as if wondering what had happened and then looked at me. I was shaking when I stood up and got down on one knee and told her she was the light of my life, I’d never love anyone as I did her and my only goal for the rest of my life was to make her happy if she’ll just make me the happiest man and marry me. I was so nervous because I knew in my heart she was the only one for me. She said yes and started to cry as I took her hand and put on the ring. She took my hand as I stood up to kiss her. All the patrons applauded us. It was magical as was my love for her. We had a beautiful 16 years of life together. She was my best friend and I’m so in love with her still today. Sadly, I lost her to a drunk driver accident in 2004. They told me she was killed instantly. My life has never been anything remotely the same. Still today, after all these years, when I hear this song, it is a reminder of our love and the torture in my heart that she was taken from me so brutally. I love you, Paula. Now and forever.
