There is a pathway in the woods that is as old as time. The beauty of this wooded trail few people ever find. You start the journey hand in hand as lovers always do And the trail that you follow is just wide enough for two. The path leads 'round a mountain out into the morning sun And through the sunlit fields you travel on as one. Never straying from the path you are grateful for each day And walking gently side by side you continue on your way. Sometimes the path is strewn with boulders at your feet But growing 'round each obstacle are flowers, oh so sweet. Ever onward winds the trail heading toward the setting sun The two of you will travel miles before your journey's done. The trail may seem endless it is the path of life But you have shared it's beauty through happiness and strife. Now you have come full circle and you're right back at the start Look back upon your journey and hold it in your heart. When you can put your grief aside and look back through the years You may find the very thing that will help to ease your tears. Many people walk the path of life all on their own Never having felt the love and happiness you're known. You've known the greatest gift in life the love of someone true No matter what else happens you still keep that with you.
