Anniversay Song

Kate Smith · Other Songs - Kate Smith

Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed

We vowed our true love, though a word wasn't said

The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies

Except for the few that were there in your eyes



Dear, as I held you close in my arms

Angels were singing a hymn to your charms

Two hearts gently beating, murmuring low

"Darling, I love you so"



The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn

The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on

Could we but recall that sweet moment sublime

We'd find that our love is unaltered by time



Darling, I love you so



The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn

The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on

Could we but recall that sweet moment sublime

We'd find that our love is unaltered by time
