Hand In Hand

As we walked down by the shoreline
Of a January morning
Sea silver like mercury
Cutting shapes into the sand
I held you in my arms
You held me in your adoration
I promised you there and then
I’d be the best I can
Though the cold cut right through us
Hoped this day would last a lifetime
This journey of togetherness
This pursuit of a dream
Looked at the horizon
And we prayed for strength and refuge
As clouds and stormy weather
These clear skies both would bring

As we walked down by the shoreline
Of a June sunny afternoon
Sea as gold as amber
Cutting diamonds in the sand
For a short while the world was barred
And I could be your hero
You put me on a pedestal
I pushed you in a pram
Through the sun lit right through us
Hoped this day would last forever
That we’d discover all the treasure
Buried in your eyes
Hoped you would remember these days spent together
These moments of perfection
These clear days of our lives

As I walked down by the shoreline
Of a late September evening
Sea full of memories
Cutting shapes that reminisce
Live today like it’s the last
Invest in every moment
I promised you way back then
That these days I would miss
So the wind reaps the whirlwind
So a hope reaps a future
Not one moment of affection
Was ever wasted on you
As we grow old together
May we always remember
The days down by the shoreline
Hand in hand we made it through
