the need to remember

I remember well, the day we wed -

I can see that picture in my head.

I still believe the words we said,

forever will ring true.

Love is certain, love is kind.

Love is yours, and love is mine.

But it isn't something that we find -

it's something that we do.

It's holding tight, lettin' go.

It's flying high and laying low.

Let your strongest feelings show -

and your weakness, too.

It's a little and a lot to ask -

an endless and a welcome task.

Love isn't something that we have -

it's something that we do.

We help to make each other all that we can be -

though we can find

our strength and inspiration independently.

The way we work together is what sets our love apart -

so closely that you can't tell

where I end and where you start.

It gives me heart, remembering how,

we started with a simple vow.

There's so much to look back on now -

still it feels brand-new.

We're on a road that has no end -

and each day we begin again.

Love's not just something that we're in -

it's something that we do.

We help to make each other all that we can be -

though we can find

our strength and inspiration independently.

The way we work together is what sets our love apart -

so closely that you can't tell

where I end and where you start.

Love is wide, love is long.

Love is deep and love is strong.

Love is why I love this song -

and I hope you love it, too.

I remember well, the day we wed -

I can see that picture in my head.

Love isn't just those words we said -

it's something that we do.

There's no request too big or small -

we give ourselves, we give our all.

Love isn't someplace that we fall.

It's something that we do.
