Come Be My Love Forever
Words and Music: © 2005 by Tom Smith
Come be my love forever, and live our lives combined,
Like roses on the trellis, all our fantasies entwined.
Well, I roved out one morning and in full-dress garb I went
A-southward in Ohio for an SCA event
I waited at the roadside, intent to share a ride
My roommate Neil arranged it for us after my card died.
Up comes a blue Maverick and what there should I see,
A lovely Spanish lady offering a ride to me.
Come be my love forever, and live our lives combined,
Like roses on the trellis, all our fantasies entwined.
We travelled and we chatted and we smiled and we shared
The things we both loved coincided the more that we compared
So when we got to that event I knew I'd found a friend,
And as she walked away I knew I couldn't let this end.
A few weeks later I revealed what was in my heart,
And since that day the two of us have never been apart.
Come be my love forever, and live our lives combined,
Like roses on the trellis, all our fantasies entwined.
ANd so, for twenty years now, our paths have been the same,
Since I knelt before the roses and asked you to share my name,
Our Monica and Gwyneth, our friends and family,
Our songs and dreams and fantasies are everything to me.
And, so my darling Barbara, I promise that it's true,
that everything good in my life is there because of you.
Come be my love forever, and live our lives combined,
Like roses on the trellis, all our fantasies entwined.
