Every year, since our 25th wedding anniversary, I have chosen a song as a gift for my husband. This year, we were in two different states, so we had to make do the best we could. This year I chose the Patti Austin song “Through the Test of Time”
“For the first time in my life, Boy, I’m not afraid to say it, How I really feel inside, We don’t have to go on waiting just think about it, together you and I.
“I could never try to write a better story, From the pages of my life
You must have written for me ‘Cause every line, found a way into my heart.
“So we’ll take it one day at a time. And leave all our worries behind.
No matter which road that we choose, As long as we got each other
No way we can lose. We can make it through love.
Through the test of time.
“When you look back on the days When you tried so hard to reach me
But I never saw the way ‘Til you took the time to teach me
And I found out, what it’s all about.
“So we’ll take it one day at a time. And leave all our worries behind.
No matter which road that we choose, As long as we got each other
No way we can lose. We can make it through love
Through the test of time.
“And again I must say How lucky I feel to have found you. Oh, and I pray every day that this feeling goes on Forever and ever.
“So we’ll take it one day at a time. And leave all our worries behind.
No matter which road that we choose, As long as we got each other
No way we can lose. We can make it through love
Through the test of time.
“Oh and I pray every day that this feeling goes on
Forever and ever.
“So we’ll take it one day at a time. And leave all our worries behind.
No matter which road that we choose, As long as we got each other
No way we gonna lose. We can make it through love
Through the test of time.
“We can make it through love
Through the test of time.
Through the test of time.
“Oh if I’ve got you and you’ve got me Then we’ll be happy as we can be.
If I love you baby and you love me too. Well, there ain’t nothing that we can’t go through.
“Through the test of time.
“Through the test of time.
“Through the test of time.
“Through the test of time.
“Through the test of time.
