Lyrics
Looking backward I confess
I had found happiness
On the day we two were made as one
When the lover’s knot was tied
With my bride by my side
Life for me I know was just begun
You have no regret then for loving me so?
You are the greatest of blessings I know
Refrain
Year after year we’re together
Through dark or clear sunny weather
Orange blossoms started our joy
Love and laughter
Filled that time that followed after
Year after year, till it’s ended
Our day will be just as splendid
Cares are ever lighter
Love is burning brighter
Year after year with you
