"Love Of A Lifetime"

Love Of A Lifetime (lyrics) by Firehouse


I guess the time was right
for us to say
We'd take our time and live our lives
together day by day
Make a wish and
send it on a prayer
We know our dreams can all come true
if loving we can share
With you I'll never wonder
will you be there for me
With you I'll never wonder
you're the right one for me

(chorus)
I finally found a love of a lifetime
A love to last my whole life through
I finally found a love of a lifetime
Forever in my heart
I finally found a love of a lifetime

With every kiss our love
is like brand new
And every star up in the sky
was made for me and you
Still we both know
that the road is long
We know that we will be together
because our love is strong

This song means a couple of things to me.   One it takes me back to my Senior Prom.  My husband and I were dating and that was the first song we danced to.  I loved it so much that years later that was the ring tone on my phone for when my husband called me. 
I was driving to work one day and looked at my phone and I was kind of ticked off for a moment because the screen that was up looked made it look like someone was messing with my phone.  Here my husband has changed his name in the contacts to Love of My Life.  That was seven years ago and I have never changed it.  It's the little things like that that mean so much to me. 
I'm going to get a little sappy here, so prepare yourselves.  I truly believe he is my soul mate, my one true love.  We have so much respect and love for each other.  What is the secret to a Happy Marriage?  It's not just one thing.  It's not enough to just love each other.  You need communication and respect for one another.  Marriage is hard and it takes a lot of work, work that I feel a lot of people aren't willing to do. I know it's not always going to be easy and fun, but we are both in it for the long haul.  I feel very blessed to have found the love of my lifetime.
