The first time I remember you we lay upon a beach

Watching the flowing waters of the Nile within our reach

Siblings as well as lovers, our souls were forever tied

With a love that is known to so few; one that spans all time

I clasped my fingers within yours and pledged my heart to you

And promised to search and find you in every life we knew.

Then I kissed your honey lips, your bronze skin I adored

Beneath the sky of a desert world, then and evermore

The next we found each other was in a land of green

Our memories of our life there are shrouded in a dream

Swirling mists of color we see clearly within our minds

But our role we played together eludes us at this time

But deep within I feel that we were once again as one

We’re destined to find each other, sure as the setting sun

No one can stand between us, no obstacles are too high

Our love will last forever until the end of all time

The early 20^th century is the next time we were wed

This time we were a family, a child beside our bed

Her golden curls and deep blue eyes reflected all our love

We were happy and carefree, we could never kiss enough

But a war raged across the sea; I left you both to fight

Some place upon that foreign shore I gave to them my life

You grieved until your dying day and cursed the need for war

That took me early from your arms and robbed your very core

But we were united once again in the endless tide

Today we are together again at each others side

The love we have in this new life is deep and rich and right

No matter whom I’m with, you are the center of my life

I’m just as much your husband as anyone has been

And you are more my wife than any other that has lived

Eternity before us is the river we have crossed

Our love will last eternally no matter what the cost.
