Neither of us needs to count the years
We can feel our love’s effects
We’ve risen above some early tears
To reach a love we feel’s our best

I don’t think of us as a life chapter
Together we’ve written my life’s book
We’ve paid attention to what really matters
And appreciate all the work it took

Not only have we had the time of our lives
I think of us as my lifetime
We’ve increasingly gotten our love right
And found what we hoped to find
We’re always equal in the love we’re planting
And always equal in what we’re taking
But we don’t take what we have for granted
Because it’s been a lifetime in the making

We had our early love’s infancy
And we struggled with the ups and downs
But we could feel our growing stability
When our love’s adolescence came around

We didn’t always grow at the same pace
I’ll admit at times I fell behind
But we both had the courage to turn and face
The growing pains that were mostly mine

Not only have we had the time of our lives
I think of us as my lifetime
We’ve increasingly built our love
And found what we hoped to find
We’re always equal in the love we’re planting
And always equal in what we’re taking
But we don’t take what we have for granted
Because it’s been a lifetime in the making

We’re now here where we always hoped to be
And we’ll deal with any ways that we’re changing
We cherish the love we’ve built successfully
Because it’s been lifetime in the making

Not only have we had the time of our lives
I think of us as my lifetime
We’ve increasingly gotten our love right
And found what we hoped to find
We’re always equal in the love we’re planting
And always equal in what we’re taking
But we don’t take what we have for granted
Because it’s been a lifetime in the making
