Gary and Maureen on Honeymoon in Guanojuato, MX
(1998)

I Took My Love

I took my love
I took her down
Where the river runs
Through Golden town

She was so pretty
With her auburn hair
Fresh from the city
And that Denver air

    We fell in love on a moonlit night
     That ribbon of water shining bright
     Hope and wonder filled our hearts with joy
     And love filled our eyes

          A halo ‘round the full moon hung
         When our love was very young 
         How the porch swing swayed
         Deep kisses took our breath away

Those waters run like
Old memories
Bringing her vision
Right back to me

Some roads are easy
And others cruel
Some seem like heaven
For this wondering fool

    We fell in love on a moonlit night
     That ribbon of water shining bright
     Hope and wonder filled our hearts with joy
     And love filled our eyes
