LOVER'S LANE, by                    
First Line: No more we sit in 'lover's lane' with moonlight shining clear
Last Line: For lovers' lane, -- oh, lover dear, to think it tested real!
Subject(s): Aging; Love


No more we sit in "Lovers' Lane" with moonlight shining clear, --
We have no time to do so now we have these children dear!
But every time it comes to mind, the same effect is brought, --
My heart speeds up, my pulses waken at the very thought!

Your arm is round me, strong and kind, my head beside your chin, --
There is no world of care and woe, but peace like heav'n within.
I sense a surge of happiness as when a robin sings.
The tremor tingles through me that Beethoven music brings.

I know, of course, that Lovers' Lane might stir me bitterly
If you had proved unworthy or had been untrue to me.
It is a tribute to our love, -- this sentiment I feel
For Lovers' Lane, -- Oh, Lover dear, to think it tested real!
