because I am exchanging a day of my life for it!
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever,
leaving in its place something that I’ve traded for it.
I want it to be Gain, and not loss,
Good and not evil,
Success and not failure,
in order that I won’t regret the price that I’ve paid for it.
I will try just for today…
for you never fail until you stop trying."

It can be an expensive cost

who have a clue
of when love accrues

A marriage of two
is about love making
It is not about

A marriage of two
can be bad
A marriage of two
can be sad
You should only be glad if
A marriage of two
is for love that is true
