\"\"<\/p>\n

I walked backwards\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Down love\u2019s path\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To meet you\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I started with cold feet\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The day I asked you to marry me<\/span><\/p>\n

Wading in a icy stream\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gave you my vows\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before I ever asked the question\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lived our first dance\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A hundred times in our living room\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before saying the word wedding<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I wove ceremony\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Into every evening\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Long before\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Invitations were sent<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0I loved you in sickness and health\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Without any promises<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Feel<\/span><\/p>\n

Like news\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is my life\u2019s story\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And <\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps<\/p>\n

A chance\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That others might see\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just how mightily\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I loved you\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As I ascended\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This path in reverse\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And you waited\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So patiently\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
