Since our hearts were young and gay,

Happiness and pain and sorrow
Were our portions through the years
That we two have lived together;
But love helped to dry all tears.
And my heart gives me this message,
Knowing all that I know now,
If the clock could be turned backward,
I’d still take that holy vow!
