They met in 1982
While smoking cigarettes
They really had no idea
That fate had planned the rest
They didn’t see each other
For a long long while
Both were crazy teenagers
Growing up through their trials
They wed in 1985
On a warm and sunny day
They vowed to love each other
Til the end of all their days
They had a son and daughter
Who grew up to be real fine
The years went by so quickly
They wondered about their time
So they did a little travelling
They owned their little home
They liked to walk on moonlit nights
And watch their grandkids grow
They listened to the rain fall
Enjoyed the snowy storms
Leaves blowing from the trees
And summer air was warm
They were best friends and lovers
Inseparable to the core
Every second sacred
They had everything and more
Then she became sick at 82
She started to forget
He held her hand until the end
Then she was laid to rest
He was an old man at 85
His heart it would not mend
One day he took his last breath
She was waiting for him at the end
But fate would have them meet again
While smoking cigarettes
They would have no idea
That fate had planned the rest
