From the recording "When I Was Your Age..."
I played this song for my wife (and sometimes harshest critic), who commented that it would be a nice wedding song. Several years later, I got the opportunity to sing it a wedding—of my son Emerson and his bride Chelsea. Thanks, universe!
Lyrics
This kiss will last a lifetime
This moment sheltered by a love so strong, so new
If a thousand more may follow, their lips can only pale compared to you.
Not knowing any better
I opened up my heart and let it's doors swing wide
And you gave your love so freely, now I'll hold you always, somewhere deep inside
And you'll be forever mine
Cross the endless seas of time
Now the world may come between us and conspire to separate us further still
But our souls cannot be parted, our hearts beat now as one and always will
And you'll be forever mine
Cross the endless seas of time
When every other memory
Has faded in the mist that soon surrounds us all
Like a bright and burning ember
The warmth of this embrace I'll still recall
