- Tune: "Here's to the
Memories"
Verse 1
- Here's to the
memories --
- Of bottles and
champagne;
- Love that never
wanes;
- Of making sure that
all our children had the perfect name --
- How lovely it's
been!
- Here's to the
memories --
- Of Disney poster
walls;
- Hungry midnight
squalls;
- Of stealing kisses
sweet while hearing giggles in the hall --
- How lovely it's
been!
- "Kissing the Girl" at
the drive-in;
- Chastising our
offspring for break-ins;
- And being all things
to our children --
- Through thick and
thin,
- How great it's
been!
- So here's to the
memories --
- Of teaching wrong
from right;
- Weekly pillow
fights;
- Of rare romantic eves
when bedroom locks stayed fastened tight --
- How lovely it's
been!
-
- Verse 2
- Here's to the
memories --
- Of fairy tales and
flu;
- Ferris wheels for
two;
- Of gazing in our
children's eyes and seeing you anew --
- How lovely it's
been!
- Here's to the
memories --
- Of jewels returned
with flair;
- Jailbreaks planned
with care;
- Of missing Christmas
presents and a son with heart to spare --
- How lovely it's
been!
- Soaking our cares in
Aveeno;
- Relaxing in front of
the fire's glow;
- And dancing in our
own gazebo --
- What could
compare
- To times we've
shared?
- So here's to the
memories --
- Of wild Temptation
flings;
- Sparkling birthstone
rings;
- Of labor pains and
christenings and all the joys they bring --
- How lovely it's
been!
