The wedding bells of long ago have ceased br The petals of the roses once so sweet br Have fallen one by one, still they live br On and forever through time and space. br They're not dead inspite of all the years br Their fragrance fills the air, lingers still. br The hopes of long ago are not so bright br As once they were, like mellow rays of light. br They shine thru-out our lives until the end, br Guiding our steps and showing us the way, br As myriad stars that sparkle from above br Encircling us with everlasting Love.
