The lights are dim, the music's playing,
Candlelight shines through the wine;
I take your hand and say I love you,
You say forever you'll be mine.
Then I wander back in memory,
To the chapel on the hill;
The preacher asked me if I loved you,
And I said I always will.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
But these are words no more I'll say;
Each day my love for you grows stronger,
And each night's our anniversary.
Every day has not been sunshine,
Sometimes dark clouds bring the rain;
Tonight I'm asking your forgiveness,
For every time I've caused you pain.
When my hair has turned to silver,
And your locks are turning gray,
I will love you, dear, forever,
Just the way I do today.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
But these are words no more I'll say;
Each day my love for you grows stronger,
And each night's our anniversary.
And each night's our anniversary.
