There were no roads we wouldn’t travel
There were no hills we wouldn’t climb
But days were short, and work was hard
And we couldn’t find the time
So we raised our kids and made our home
So that somewhere down the line
We’d see the pictures from our dreams
We’d go all around the world
All around the world
Just me and my girl
We’d go all around the world
We dreamed of sailing on the oceans
Writing our names across the sky
We’d make our lists and plan our trips
And look forward to the day
When we’d explore the trails, and ride the rails
And take the time to play
To see colours ripple in the sky
We’d go all around the world ….
We waited ‘til we could retire
We waited ‘til the kids were grown and gone
And years passed by like birds that fly
We waited for too long
With her ashes in my pack, I go from town to town
When I find a quiet place she’d like, I spread a few around
Sometimes I can feel her smile and I know I’m not alone
And her spirit gives me the strength to climb these castles made of stone
I see the beauty through her eyes
As we go all around the world ……..
