Repost: Old Ones Fade Away

I've been rehashing this lyric I wrote at my brother's wedding last August for my grandparents. I haven't found music for it yet. I'm working on it. Thought I would repost it here. (It was posted on my blog last year around the time I wrote it.)

Anyway. Tell me what you think of it... and what needs to be changed.

The story began so long ago

I remember her telling me

Of when they first met

How she married him in a little blue dress

because of the magic

When they first kissed

New love stories begin

As old ones fade away

But how I wish the old ones would stay

50 sum years ago

Began so long ago

Long years at the factory

Making sure they were fed

And tucking little girls in bed

Telling the love story

Of how they first met

And how she looked in that little blue dress

New love stories begin

As old ones fade away

But how I wish the old ones would stay

All wrinkled and worn

They sit there in the pew

Listening to the vows I make to you

And a few years from now

I’ll tuck a little girl in bed

And tell her of the day

I married you

In this little white dress

Because of the magic

When we first met

New love stories begin

As old ones fade away

But how I wish the old ones would stay
