lyrics

What We’ve Done With Our Lives

I remember the day when our new world began
seeing you for the first time on the other side
and us sharing our fries on break while working at Burger Chef
both searching to find out what is life.

and I remember pushing my bike alongside of us as we navigated
through downtown Portland in seventy-two
and the touch of your hand safely in mine as we walked
in the evening rain, on our way down Park Avenue

And I remember praying for you to be that one; the only one
to end my loneliness and bring me round right
and with the very same hopes and prayers,
you came to me to share so far
with what we’ve done with our lives

I remember the helpless feelings that we both bore
and the tearful sorry streaming from your eyes
that day when everything stood so silently still
after losing the star of the show; our prize

And I remember just how brave and courageous you were
steering us away from the sirens of hopelessness,
and I remember a special gift of tender mercies
with another child to have, to love; to bless.

And I remember us a team working to raise a family
pressing forward; ever on to new heights
but to see how we’ve grown from then to now, I’m so happy with
what we’ve done with our lives

I remember the day when our last child flew off;
how brave and strong you pretended to be back then
and I remember how we spent those many days and nights
getting to know a little bit more about each other again

And I remember just how daring and fearless we were
braving all the new adventures that you kept thinking of,
and now I see your smile; your eyes burning brightly back at me
saying I’m so glad to have you to love.

I see us as eternal, moving forward, doing good
and I see you and I in the middle of the rise
we’ve come so far and loved so much; hard not to be amazed
with what we’ve done with our lives
