Time slips by grain after grain
Through the hourglass of my life.
Each moment that passes
Brings me closer and closer
To you whom I made my wife.

Our anniversary, and no regrets
No wish to turn back the year.
T'was you I married
For better or worse
For you my love is clear

Anything I can, to make you happy
You can be sure I'll do
Forever together
We'll grow stronger and stronger
You know my love is true.

Written to Denise by Matthew for our 1st wedding anniversary
23rd December ’96
