We always wanted a big two story house Back when we lived in that little two room shack We wanted fame and fortune And we'd live life the way the rich folks do We knew some how we'd make it, together me and you
With dreams and hopes of things to come We worked and never stopped Not much time for you and me We had to reach the top
We bought that big two story house And soon became the envy of the town With all our work behind us We'd finally settled down
Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house Whoa, what splendor But there's no love about
I've got my story And I've got mine, too How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house
The house is filled with rare antiques There's marble on the floor Beauty all around us Like we've never seen before
There's chandeliers in every room Imported silks and satin all about We filled the house with everything But somehow left love out
Now we live (yes we live) in a two story house Oh what splendor But there's no love about
I've got my story And I've got mine, too How sad it is, we now live, in a two story house
There's just one place for me Near you It's like heaven to be Near you Times when we're apart And I can't face my heart Say you'll never stay More than just two lips away If my hours could be spent Near you I'd be more than content Near you Make my life worth while By telling me that I'll Spend the rest of my days Near you near you - near you Make my life worth while By telling me that I'll spend the rest of my days Near you Spend the rest of my days Near you
I'd followed me to Texas I'd followed me to Utah We didn't find it there so we moved on I'd followed you to Alabam things look good in Birmingham We didn't find it there so we moved on I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams I had your child in Memphis you heard of work in Nashville We didn't find it there so we moved on To a small farm in Nebraska to a gold mine in Alaska We didn't find it there so we moved on And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine But this time only two of us moves on Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to And still you won't let me go on alone I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
If anyone could find the joy That true love brings a girl and boy We could, we could, you and I If anyone could ever say That their true love was here to stay We could, we could, you and I When you're in my arms I know you're happy to be there And just as long as I'm with you I'm happy anywhere If anyone could pray each night And thank the Lord that all is right We could, we could, you and I When you're in my arms I know you're happy to be there And just as long as I'm with you I'm happy anywhere
Take me, take me to your darkest room Close every window and bolt every door The very first moment I heard your voice I'd be in darkness no more Take me to your most barren desert A thousand miles from the nearest sea The very moment I saw your smile It
I'll take this man, and by him I'll stand I promise that we'll never part. To him I'll be true, there'll be no one new From now, till death do us part.
Do you take this woman to be your wife?
Yes, I'll take this woman. She'll be mine forever. And I'll love her with all of my heart. To have and to hold, our love won't grow cold. I promise. Till death do us part.
We'll take each other, from this day forward, Together in sickness or health. United with love, we'll face life together, If we're poor or if we have wealth.
For better or worse, you'll always come first And no one can keep us apart. Yes, we'll take each other, forsaking all others. Together, till death do us part.
