How did this happen?
There we were living our lives,
Both on our own
But with good friends around us.
We had known each other,
Known each other for a long time,
But only as friends.
Her husband and my wife had passed,
So we were on our own.
Then came that day,
That day we went out for coffee.
It was like a bright light had come on,
And from that time we fell in love,
And that love is so very strong,
We had never known it like this.
Now we are together,
Together in our lives,
Never to be parted.
Our love shines from us
And all around can see it,
See it shine from our hearts,
For all to see.
And that love grows stronger,
Stronger every moment.
We do not understand the happiness,
The happiness we now have.
So we still ask the question,
How did this happen?
