Although my love is growing old. 
She is still beautiful to me. 
 Though what I see you cannot see. 
I see her as she used to be. 
 
Good looks may fade like fairy gold. 
 The outward signs do not fool me. 
I see her as she used to be 
 I love her still as constantly. 
 
Though I’m no longer young and bold. 
I see her as she used to be. 
Perhaps familiarity  
dictates to you what you can see. 
 
I see her as she used to be. 
Epitome of all beauty  
when I asked her to marry me. 
Our love story as yet untold.
