This is February after all, and I haven't written a song for my wife in a very long time, so the time is now. Interesting thing is, this is a true story.
I once had a dream of a maiden so fair
Eyes sparkling like diamonds, with long flaxen hair
You looked so familiar but I didn’t know where
We might have met, or had we yet?
Then you took my hand and we swept ‘cross the room
Like the very first dance of a bride and a groom
Like telling our fortunes by the light of the moon
It felt like destiny
One day a friend said I want you to meet
The girl from your dream as you’ve told it to me
I couldn’t believe you were standing right there
Same diamond eyes, same flaxen hair
Then you took my hand and we swept ‘cross the room
Like the very first dance of a bride and a groom
Like telling our fortunes by the light of the moon
It felt like destiny
Yet it took a few years for it all to come true
For us to be one and no longer two
Along came a third and our family grew
In the joy, peace and wonder
Like we never knew
As I look back at the years gone by
Remembering the laughter and tears that we’ve cried
Through good times and bad times
And trials that we’ve had
When the world went mad, but I’m so glad
That you took my hand and we swept ‘cross the room
‘Twas the very first dance of the bride and the groom
Like telling our fortunes by the light of the moon
Fulfilling our destiny

A lovely love song! Living a fairytale life - at least that's what your song shows!
