Oh...oh...oh...oh...
Oh...oh...oh...
Doo...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

A diamond in the rough
With a flair for chivalry
Like an unpolished gem
That’s how you appeared to me

But when I got to know
The heart inside the man
You sparkled like an emerald
On a beach of golden sand

You spoke of God and family
Of picnics in the sun
Of how we two were chosen
To pass the torch of love

That in the eyes of children
Is where they’ll find us when we’re gone
And the dreams we shared
Shall be our legacy

Oh, yeah...yes, it is
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh...mmm...
(Mmm...mmm...)

Unlike the weeping willow
Bent over by the wind
We stood tall
When the ray of hope grew dim

Embracing the values
Of your folks and mine
Male all the difference
Getting through the rough times

By raising sons and daughters
On a foundation of trust
It only strengthened
The bond between us

Knowing I’ll be there for you
Through all eternity
We’re living proof true love
Shall be our legacy

Yeah...

When I hold you, girl
I just can’t stop
I wanna pay tribute to
This feeling that we’ve got

Cherishing each moment
Until the end of time
Captured in gold
And silver lined

A diary whose story
Seems to transcend
All that came before us
What’s around the bend

To you my most treasured (Woo)
Companion and friend
I do apologize
If I ever made you cry (That’s alright, boy)
You filled my life with so much joy

But words alone can’t say
How your love has paved the way
That’s what memories are for
The story of you and me, yeah
This shall be our legacy, yeah
