We Were Blessed

There's that run down old apartment
Just up from the bay
We lugged in all our furniture
And with that we were away
On a long eventful journey
Through the twists and turns of life
Me getting used to husband
You getting used to wife

Some days we'd just shake our heads
And laugh out loud
As we marvelled at just how
Had we really been planning
All this that fell into our hands?
We were blessed
I kind of knew it then
But I'm certain of it now

I'd fret about growing older
Even when I was still quite young
We were clinging to the ladder
We were climbing rung by rung
While the things that really mattered
Were right before our eyes
A little girl's bright chatter
A newborn's healthy cries

That was the music of our lives
Day by day
It was a show without a bow
Did we know we were playing
Our symphony in time?
We were blessed
I think you knew it then
I kind of knew it then
But I'm certain of it now

There's the time that trickled slowly
The time that rushed right by
The time that we lost track of
And couldn't fathom why
There's the things that stayed forever
And the flashes in the pan
I'd like to piece it all together
But I just don't think I can

Do the years teach us anything?
Oh they must
As we tumble on through time
Did we know we were learning
To truly understand?
We were blessed
I think we both knew it then
I must have known it then
I'm certain of it now
