We were “Years Apart” and miles away
Here are a few things I need to say
Just hear me out before we part
This is coming from the heart…

When we met many years ago
You caught my eye, my heart, my soul.
Due to age we stayed apart.
But because of love, it broke my heart.

I knew someday I would have to let you go.
When I did, I should have said “No!”
You left without even saying goodbye.
When I found you were gone, I wanted to die

For years I looked with no success
But I came close with much regret.
Regret that you weren’t there for me.
Miles apart and you were free

Free to do what you want
And whom you choose to see.
So you moved on with your life
And tried to start a family

Then one day to my surprise
A message came before the sunrise.
When I found it was from you.
I hoped that all my dreams would come true.

Then I replied to your note
With my heart so full of hope.
Hope that you were still for me.
Hope that now we could be free

From you, all I want is your heart
Like it was in the start.
When we were “Years Apart” instead of miles away,
So be my wife to my dying day…

Just one more thing before I go
I just thought you should know.
I should have married you from the start
Years ago when you won my heart…
