Paradise on Earth

Our Paradise on Earth

 

The curtains are drawn

The weeds overgrown

But this is our old house

The one we used to own

The pillars are still standing

Just like the two of us now manage

The wooden front door used to creak open

With its cracks and weather beaten damage

But it was our home one so full of love in the past

When we ran away together

People said, it will never last

But thirty years later in the old peoples home

We are still together

And outside we still roam

And frequently pass by

Our old house on our street

Even the old back alley is still there

Where we clandestinely used to meet

But we loved each other madly

Then, and still do now

But we now have lines on our faces

On our hands and our brow

But you still look as lovely

As when we ran away

When I promised you faithfully

I could love you till the end of the day

So our old home

Full of memories so good

As we walk passed hand in hand, after so long

Its lasted the time, like all true love should
