[Verse 1] It started with music And wheels on the floor With a young man who knew What he was looking for She thought she would never Give him much of a chance Then he offered his hand And away they both danced They couldn’t have known then Where that first night would lead Just that something had started And neither wanted to leave [Chorus] A lifetime with you the laughter and tears the plans that came true those fast-changing years With the good and the bad We always found our way through No, I’d never trade what we had For even one lifetime without you [Verse 2] From their different worlds They didn’t always agree But somewhere in the middle They found where they should be He remembered the people She remembered the cost He would give what he could She made sure nothing was lost Sometimes the gamble paid off And sometimes they began again But whatever life gave them They both faced it till the end [Chorus] A lifetime with you the laughter and tears the plans that came true those fast-changing years With the good and the bad We always found our way through No, I’d never trade what we had For even one lifetime without you [Verse 3] Whether side by side Or many miles apart Wherever they wandered Home lived in their hearts And if they could speak With the whole family near I’d bet they would tell us, “Don’t measure love by the years Look around at each other At the family we grew That’s everything worth keeping From a lifetime with you” [Final Chorus] A lifetime with you the laughter and tears the plans that came true those fast-changing years With the good and the bad We always found our way through Look at all the love gathered here From one lifetime shared with you
