When two souls become one
It’s the foundation
The golden ticket
For the journey that is love
Steady and surely
With warmth and purity
The answer to why we live
The cure for all ills
Love in all its permutations
Provides salvation
With the combination of two in love
That’s what happens when two souls become one
It happens every minute, every day
Throughout the world
When two souls become one
It’s a lifetime of affection
A lifetime of connection

I can be better
I know I can
Choo, choo, choo
So I am
Trying and trying
One day at a time
I’ve got to be good
If all will be fine
We fight ourselves
Every day
We struggle
We succeed
If we’re doing our best
Bad thoughts and deeds
Don’t get in the way
No, go away!
I am getting better
As I choo choo all day

A weekend in the country
Just what we need
The fresh outdoors
Even more
Smell the flowers
Nature is secure
As are we in our cozy abode
I’m making spaghetti
She makes herself at home
We’ve got friends and neighbors coming over
Who will visit and imbibe
We’ll tell funny stories
How we survive
The tribulations
That with modern life arrive
Our weekend in the country
Just an hour drive

Jim never got over Sue
Nor she him
The big mistake occurred so long ago
But that’s the way it is
Lovers with an abiding spirit
They still share today
But they can’t be together
Such a shame, no way
I’ll avoid the specifics
But fate and circumstance play the leads
Conspiring to prevent their consummation
Only memories now struggle to meet their needs
They can only do so much
They’re no salve
There is no solution
Not for this love

I can’t help myself
I’ll love you till I die
Always will and ever will be
In your loving thrall
I have loved you for so very long
We have it all
Arms that love each other
As we fall in love again each day
Yes, we have it all
These loving arms are yours forever
Your loving arms are ever mine
Our loving arms embrace each other
It has come to be
Loving arms for my lover
Loving arms for me

Let’s create a time capsule
To let those that follow us
Know how we lived
I think we must
First we’ll put a picture in it
Taken when we met
On that beach that sunny summer day
From there began our odyssey
That leads us to today
Oh, we had our quarrels
But it all turned out great
You got your new kitchen
So we’ll leave some recipes
On which they’ll love to dine
Then perhaps some music
Songs we’ve come to love
They’re yours and mine
When we cuddled under our blankets
Watching the stars above
It will be clears to them
We shared lots of love
There will be a letter
Commemorating our stay
In this happy home
Where we lived out our days
We’re so very happy
As we hope they will be
If our time capsule is discovered
Underneath the initials
Of you and me

Isn’t it interesting how love comes to stay
You wish for it, can’t find it
Then comes the day
It appears inviting
Enters thriving
Driving each day
You go topsy-turvy
Oh, you’re so thirsty
For more deliciousness
A companion to care for
A reason for living
The future assured
One happy way
You live to love
You love to live
Interesting when love comes to stay
