I Bought You A Necklace
by Michael Doyle

In love since the beginning
I can't help but feel I'm winning
It's so surreal in what I find
A love like this is my state of mind

It's all about thinking that I can
Your love makes me a better man
All this love waiting to be given
All my wrongs lived past and forgiven

I bought you a necklace to remember me
With each of its beads, a memory
You're as gorgeous as a reverie
From day one, I knew you were for me

I know exactly where I want to be
Maybe one day, we'll have a family
I am so blessed that you'd marry me
You are the truth lived for me

Today is our day of celebration
I say to us in my fascination
God has brought us to this place
For a lifetime of love to embrace

I bought you a necklace to remember me
With each of its beads, a memory
You're as gorgeous as a reverie
From day one, I knew you were for me

The things you somehow see in me
Whisper your dreams for my possibility
In vows we make, we place our trust
We will commit to these things as we must

You are my best friend and my wife
For the rest lived out as our life
I'll take this past the altar
Please know my love will never falter

I bought you a necklace to remember me
With each of its beads, a memory
You're as gorgeous as a reverie
From day one, I knew you were for me
