The Best Of Times
Oh, but to have and to hold
To rest down my weary head,
For her I would give the moon
But gladly give my life instead.
Oh, but to hold her in my arms
To walk along the cool river,
For her Mother Nature would bow
And the north wind itself shiver.
My angel, my lovely, my lady
She was, is and always will be,
By day, by night, in my kind arms
For her the whole world will see.
Present times they may be rough
But future days are what we make,
Good times, bad times we welcome
But the best of times we'll gladly take.
