Tributes

Oh give me a chance my maiden fair

To pay my tributes now

Oh give me a chance my darling dear

To honour my wedding vow.

Oh give me a chance to tell you my love

That you mean all the world to me

That you are a gift that came from heaven above

And has filled my whole life with glee.

Oh give me a chance to reach your ears

With a sugary ditty of praise

Before you grow old and the years cannot hear

And the mind all good wishes betray.

Oh give me a chance to give you my rose

Before your vision gets dim

Before mortality comes to its close

And the eyes cannot witness a thing.

Oh give me a chance to stand by your side

And be there in good times or bad

Oh give me a chance whatever betides

To make your heart cheerful and glad.

Oh give me a chance my soulmate and friend

To walk life’s journey with you

To travel with you to the journey’s end

While the path of bliss we pursue.
