Story Behind The Song
was listening to the Paul Harvey show on the radio, and he was talking about his tournament of roses, and about a couple who had been married for over 70 years and he used the phrase, "Married 72 years, on the way to forever." what a great hook I thought so I wrote the song. This song will be the greatest wedding song ever recorded.

Lyrics
1.) YOU?LL ALWAYS BE THE LOVE OF MY LIFETIME,
AND I?LL STAY WITH YOU, AS LONG AS GOD LETS ME,
I?LL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU, WE?RE GONNA SEE IT THROUGH,
OH OH OH GOOD TIMES OR BAD, HAPPY OR SAD,
FROM THE ALTAR TO THE GRAVE;
BRIDGE
I PROMISE TO LOVE YOU ALL MY LIFE,
I PROMISE TO TRY AND MAKE THE DARK TIMES BRIGHT,
I PROMISE YOU WE?LL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER,
FROM THE HERE AND NOW, ON OUR WAY TO FOREVER;
2.) ETERNAL LOVE, IS WHAT I?LL GIVE TO YOU ,
LOVE THAT WILL LAST, FOREVER ENDURING,
WE?LL RAISE A FAMILY, WE?LL BUILD A MEMORY,
OH OH OH WE?LL ALWAYS BE,
A LOVE MELODY, FROM THE ALTAR TO THE GRAVE;
BRIDGE

I PROMISE TO TRY AND MAKE THE DARK TIMES BRIGHT,
I PROMISE YOU WE?LL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER,
