The Love Of A Lifetime

from Songs For You​.​.​. by Hadleigh Ford

/

about

Recorded for a very special Diamond Wedding Anniversary.

lyrics

Uncle Dave and Grandpa joined the army
When they returned Dave planned for wedding bells to ring.
Grandpa was the best man at the wedding
and it wasn’t long till the parties in full swing.
He saw a beautiful girl, the bridesmaid at the wedding
and he watched her spin around and around
But as the clock struck twelve and the carriages were leaving
He thought that was the last time he'd see that beautiful girl

3 score years
The love of a lifetime
If finding loves is hard
Then keeping it is harder
Learning to light the spark
and keep it burning bright forever
by taking on those vows
we promised to love forever

It wasn’t long till he met that girl from the wedding
She was now a nurse at St James in Leeds
They started Courting in the peak district of England
And pretty soon they held a wedding of their own
The patter of tiny feet was heard first time with Janet
After she arrived they moved far across the seas
Phillipa was born in and raised in Ghana
But they soon came home and the rest is history

So here we are together at the party
Its hard to believe that 60years has past
Shining bright like diamonds sparkling forever
Just like a diamonds this love will last
