So long ago
You were a girl
With eyes full of stars
That I could lose myself in
With dreams of tomorrow
The talks we shared
Holding each other close
The joys we found
Your head on my shoulder
Your heart beating with mine
The greatest song
This boy could sing
Like rain on my skin
Your touch…
Like April showers
Making everything bloom
The day we got married
You and I side by side
A circle of stars in our eyes
Happy to live and learn
Our hearts now whole
And when each day was done
In our soft silence
I could feel you thinking
Of the heaven I found
Each time I held you
The greatest song
This boy could sing
Like rain on my skin
Your touch…
Like April showers
Making everything bloom
In time
The angels joined our song
With bits of you and I
We held the world in our hands
And I would smile cause in our arms
We finally held the tomorrow we spoke of
So long ago
And when all was still
Each night when you would sleep
My paradise was found
And I would smile
Because I now possessed
All I needed to make it through
The greatest song
This boy could sing
Like rain on my skin
Your touch…
Like April showers
Making everything bloom
How when fate interrupted
Oh sorrowful moment!
The pain of parting
Unable to speak
You holding me close
Your heart beating with mine
My world on my shoulder
You loving me
Like I am loving you
That is all I needed to guide me home
Where I will wait for you
The greatest song
This boy could sing
Like rain on my skin
Your touch…
Like April showers
Making everything bloom
I pray someday on distant shore
To be reunited with that little girl
Whose eyes were full of stars
That I would lose myself in
And hear about that life of hers
That life I helped to begin
And how wonderful it all turned out
And the joys my angels found
In pursuit of their tomorrows
And as I hold you
Wiping away your tears
We will share our song once again
For all of heaven to hear
The greatest song
This boy could sing
Like rain on my skin
Your touch…
Like April showers
Making everything bloom
Thank you for your love
Thank you for the life we shared
Thank you for guiding me home
You gave me everything I ever needed
You helped lift me to higher ground
You are the greatest song
This boy could sing
And I will always love you
Fear not my love
This song we shared
Will never fade away…
