Story Behind The Song
I started writing this song when my wife and I were visiting Lake Como in France during a vacation, I remember seeing the epic view of Lake Como while penning lyrics and coming up with the arrangement and thinking how this place looked like heaven on earth. So I tied those two elements together of my love for my wife and being with her in this life and the next.

Lyrics
Watching these days go by
All of them with you
Moments fill the pages
And I'll forget what "age" is, with you
Meet in the place, where we'd lay
In our bright and younger days
We can say
That we stayed together
That we loved forever...
All I want is, all I want is to walk alone with you
Down into the city, down into the city with you
Bright and golden, now wings will take me above it all, with you
Life was but a vapor, and now I can remain here with you
I kind of like this kind of life
That we're passing through.
If God put us together
Man can never sever the two
We can say we lived, and we loved
We'll have a love affair that lasts forever
And when we reach the end it's only gonna get better
And we'll be standing there, blinded by the light,
Awaiting hereafter's salvation
