I heard Sleeping In The Stars and I could picture a couple through all the years and the words poured out.
Then I decided at the end why not do a soundtrack so listen along to the story.
I remember our first date
It seems just like yesterday
The way you smiled and played with your hair
I remember thinking, God this isn’t fair
The way she’s stealing my heart
I could see the end as we start
We talked all night and into the next day
We held hands and I didn’t let mine slip away
It was a beautiful day for late July
It didn’t compare to my beautiful bride
You walked down the aisle and our eyes met
How your smile lit up the church I’ll never forget
We said I do and I could forever see
I couldn’t picture my life without you and me
We danced throughout the night and into the next day
We held hands and I didn’t let mine slip away
We rushed to the hospital saying it was too soon
She was due in August and it was only June
We prayed she would be alright
I held your hand oh so tight
Eighteen years and now she’s on her own
Time flew by as she had quickly grown
We held her hands as she went on her way
A tear slipped my eye because I didn’t want mine to slip away
Through all the years and ups and downs
We were legends in this small town
Everyone thought we had it all together
But we had nights that seemed like forever
Sometimes we held on just by our fingertips
Sometimes life can be one strange trip
When we went to bed at the end of each long day
We held our hands and I didn’t let mine to slip away
The doctors didn’t know if you would make it to Christmas Day
I knew what they didn’t, you were stubborn that way
You smiled and I played with your hair
I thought to myself, God this isn’t fair
For just one more day, one more minute I was begging
But I knew the years we shared were a blessing
A savior given, an angel taken as Christmas Eve turned to Christmas Day
I held your hand, I didn’t let mine slip away

It did mine as I wrote it thinking about cherishing each moment. If course when I heard Sleeoing In The Stars I teared up and I still tear up when I watch the video for Legends. I’m just a softie I guess

Nothing wrong with that. My husband is a softy and very sentimental. We’ve been married for 53 years and we’re high school sweethearts. Continue to cherish the moments. When we grow older it’s sometimes all you have left.
