I
remember
the
day
that
our
paths
first
crossed
In
the
quiet
of
the
morning
when
the
dew
was
tossed
You
were
a
light
in
the
shadows,
a
song
in
the
breeze
Bringing
a
calm
to
my
spirit,
putting
my
heart
at
ease
Esther,
your
name
is
a
whisper,
a
prayer
in
the
air
A
blessing
that
follows
me
everywhere
From
the
hills
of
the
valley
to
the
edge
of
the
blue
I
know
that
the
heavens
are
watching
over
you
And
I
desire
to
grow
old
with
you,
hand
in
hand
Walking
together
across
this
rolling
land
Through
the
summer
sun
and
the
winter
frost
Counting
the
moments,
never
one
of
them
lost
Side
by
side
until
the
sun
forgets
to
shine
I
want
to
spend
the
rest
of
my
life
as
yours
and
you
as
mine
Yeah,
I
want
to
walk
this
dusty
road
until
the
end
of
time
We’
ve
seen
the
seasons
turn
from
green
to
gold
We’
ve
seen
the
seasons
turn
from
green
to
gold
Watched
all
the
stories
of
our
youth
unfold
With
every
sunrise,
I
see
a
brand
new
start
A
deeper
connection
blooming
in
my
heart
May
the
good
Lord
keep
you,
may
He
light
your
way
Keeping
you
safe
through
the
heat
of
the
day
There’
s
nowhere
I’
d
rather
be,
no
place
I’
d
rather
go
Than
right
here
beside
you,
in
the
steady
glow
And
I
desire
to
grow
old
with
you,
hand
in
hand
Walking
together
across
this
rolling
land
Through
the
summer
sun
and
the
winter
frost
Counting
the
moments,
never
one
of
them
lost
Side
by
side
until
the
sun
forgets
to
shine
I
want
to
spend
the
rest
of
my
life
as
yours
and
you
as
mine
Yeah,
I
want
to
walk
this
dusty
road
until
the
end
of
time
Life
might
throw
us
stones,
the
rivers
might
rise
But
I
see
the
promise
written
in
your
eyes
Whatever
comes
our
way,
whatever
life
might
bring
It’
s
you
that
makes
my
weary
spirit
sing (
Melodic,
warm
pedal
steel
solo
over
rhythmic
acoustic
rhythm)
So
let
the
years
roll
on,
let
the
clock
tick
slow
We’
ve
got
a
lifetime
of
love
that’
s
destined
to
grow
From
the
porch
swing
rhythm
to
the
stars
up
above
There’
s
nothing
stronger
than
the
power
of
this
love
Esther,
my
darling,
let’
s
take
it
all
in
stride
With
nothing
to
fear
and
nothing
to
hide
Just
you
and
me
under
the
wide
open
sky
Watching
the
clouds
and
the
years
go
drifting
by
And
I
desire
to
grow
old
with
you,
hand
in
hand
Walking
together
across
this
rolling
land
Through
the
summer
sun
and
the
winter
frost
Counting
the
moments,
never
one
of
them
lost
Side
by
side
until
the
sun
forgets
to
shine
I
want
to
spend
the
rest
of
my
life
as
yours
and
you
as
mine
Yeah,
I
want
to
walk
this
dusty
road
until
the
end
of
time
Until
the
end
of
time,
darling
Just
you
and
me,
walking
free
Yeah,
forever
is
a
long
time
But
it
ain't
long
enough
for
you
and
me (

final
acoustic
