When I was twenty-three I should have got down on one knee And dressed you in the finest bridal gown Now at twenty-four I am off fighting in the war And I feel that my spirit's wearing down I pledged you my return And the fires they will burn In our hearts as they did long before I'll see you once again As I return from the end And I'll find you waiting for me by the door You are my beloved My betrothed shining star I would be so lost if not for you We'll have drink or two Beneath the rising moon (We) both know there's so much living left to do It's the oldest story That's for sure You and I together Once More Light surrounds All that we do I could live forever With You It's the oldest story You know it's true That I could live forever With you
