A TABLE SET FOR TWO
The table that was set for two
I sat silently waiting there for you
'Twas our 25th wedding anniversary.
An empty seat now looks back at me.
The holiday reserved for two
It was a surprise meant for you
Something we'd always look forward to
But now I can't take it without you
It was a time to gather our friends a few
A time our wedding vows to renew
That is something I'd gladly now do
For if we could do it again I'd still choose you
The gift that's wrapped in tender affection
Within it a token of my love's expression
It now lies unopened, I guess it never will
Just like many of our dreams unfulfilled.
The card that's specially chosen for this day
Has so much of what I want to say
But now upon it's tear-soaked page
Run thoughts and feelings on a wild rampage
The bouquet of roses that was in my hand
Now covered with dust and unwelcome sand
'Twas meant for you to whom my heart I gave
It now lies wilted upon this silent grave
The table that was set for two
I sat silently waiting there for you
'Twas our 25th wedding anniversary.
An empty seat now looks back at me.

Something we'd always look forward to

Run thoughts and feelings on a wild rampage
The bouquet of roses that was in my hand
Now covered with dust and unwelcome sand
'Twas meant for you to whom my heart I gave
It now lies wilted upon this silent grave
Two by two the world was meant to be
Or at least that is what the Ark tells me
It looks like now it's back to one
To complete the race so well you've run
Can there be joy in the midst of sadness?
In the midst of sorrow, gladness
Somehow for the future we must dare believe
In its hope we must continue to live
Or at least that is what the Ark tells me
It looks like now it's back to one
To complete the race so well you've run
Can there be joy in the midst of sadness?
In the midst of sorrow, gladness
Somehow for the future we must dare believe
In its hope we must continue to live
This day will always hold much meaning
Through time we await the needed healing
We remember the years gone by
It's time to celebrate and not to cry
We may be separated by this divide called time
We'll continue to celebrate this day sublime
Me here and you there above
Happy Anniversary my love
