a new love song
by Mary Ellen Smithlove, let us write a new love song
full of the life we have led.
a song for the years we have left behind
a song for the years up ahead.
full of the sun on the horizon
mixed with the tears of the past,
whatever the Lord will grace us,
a song that will last.
love, let us write a new love song
our grandchildren's voices are there
and we'll sing it to them as they sit on our knees
as long as God's graying our hair.
a song full of the love we have shared, dear
a song for our children to sing.
and we'll write a refrain
that we'll sing to each other
over and over and over again.
