Back When Our Love Was Young and Strong
by Perry McDonald
When I first met her, we drew a garden
Our day together was short but we were free
Later that summer on rivers and sand dunes
The world was our playground, it was 1973
We married very young, we wouldn't be disuaded
Everyone assumed we'd end up bitter and jaded
We went to the North Wood and grew up together
We always knew our love would last forever
Back when our Love was young and Strong
We wouldn't be defeated
We couldn't stay away for long
You couldn't keep us down
We blew through the questions, we knew all the answers
There was a time we really thought we knew it all
Wisdom comes slowly, we reveiwed the questions
Now come full circle, we've got questions all our own
As though our time would never end
They say that all good things must end
And that all true love must die
But we were never ones for trends
and as long as we always try
You still can't keep us down...
