It's Something That We Do

I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head
I still believe the words we said
Forever will ring true

Love is certain, love is kind

Love is yours and love is mine

But it isn't something that we find

It's something that we doIt's holding tight, lettin' go

It's flying high and laying low
Let your strongest feelings show
And your weakness, too

It's a little and a lot to ask
An endless and a welcome task
Love isn't something that we have
It's something that we do

We help to make each other all that we can be

Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently

The way we work together is what sets our love apart

So closely that you can't tell where I end and where you start

It gives me heart remembering how
We started with a simple vow
There's so much to look back on now
Still it feels brand-new

We're on a road that has no end

And each day we begin again
Love's not just something that we're in
It's something that we do




We help to make each other all that we can be

Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently
The way we work together is what sets our love apart
So closely that you can't tell where I end and where you start



Love is wide, love is long
Love is deep and love is strong
Love is why I love this song
And I hope you love it too


I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head
Love isn't just those words we said
It's something that we do


There's no request too big or small
We give ourselves, we give our all
Love isn't someplace that we fall
It's something that we do

Hi, Michelle this is AnnaLee.

I am glad that people in Madison have blogspots which in this case happen to lead to yours. How are you my friend?

Looks like you are having fun. And wow you have been married 30 years. Roger and I will be celebrating 25 years this November. The pictures are so fun and beautiful. Makes me wonder where my wedding pictures are. Probably in the garage even though they were in the basement at one point.

Hope all is well with you and your family.
