Twenty-one years ago (getting close to 22 now) I married the most wonderful wife the world has ever known. Sorry girls, but she really is—maybe you can work on being the second best. At the beginning of our reception, I played the guitar and sang this song to my wife. And it is more true today than it was 22 years ago—and I understand its implications more.
I thought I'd try to tell you
How much I love you in a song
But found out very soon that
that would make it last too long
I started it last evening
When the sun was going down
I'd barely just begun it
When the sun came back aroundI'd really like to tell you—
I'd really like to show how much
I'd really care to share this love with you.
I'd really like to tell you
I'd really like to show you
But I'm afraid I just might never
quite get throughIf every star that's in the sky
Could scream, "I love you, girl."
And if I sent a rose for every
flower in the world
It would only start to tell
The things I long to say
The stars will fall and the rose will die
But my love won't go away!I'd really like to tell you
I'd really like to show how much
I'd really care to share this love with you.
I'd really like to tell you
I'd really like to show you
But I'm afraid I might not ever quite get through.
I love you Kim!
Check out our love story on my wife's blog.
Rich,
ReplyDeleteI just popped over from Kim's blog. Reading your story was wonderful...I told Kim I had been looking forward to seeing that post today! What a blessing. I hope you both have a lovely Valentine's Day! :o)
PS- What a good husband to include your wife in your blog header. She looks lovely...still very much the same even after 20 years. :o)
Thanks Mrs. Wilt. I've been enjoying your Valentines posts too. It's nice to see the love in the air.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to look at these old photos of Kim. She looks so young. I now realize why the folks I worked with wondered why I was marrying a 14-year old. (No joke, they actually discussed that.)
