A song celebrating an anniversary and life lived together.

lyrics

Just Kids

What would I say to myself at 17?
An ingénue, I couldn’t have been more green
My bags all packed, going out through my parents’ door
So full of hopes and so ready to explore

Remain as curious as you are – an open heart and mind will take you far

At 22 in my thrift-shop wedding dress
I lost myself in your eyes and whispered “Yes”
Confetti and kisses – the happiest day of my life
We were still just kids – it felt funny to be your wife

Look to each other in every way – Working together to learn & grow each day

Running along a beach with two crazy dogs
or setting the world to rights on endless walks
Building a life and a home as the years go by
Oh, savour the moments! They’re gone in the blink of an eye…Oh…
It’s hard to believe where we are now, but here we are
So lucky to share what we have and come this far
And what would I say to you now, at 52?
I treasure the life and the love I have with you…
