Written & Performed by Duncan Wells

I dreamed on my birthday
that I turned 83
and there on my pillow
your gift dear to me
a beautiful bride dear
and a dashing young groom
those church bells were ringin'
for me and for you

How red are the roses?
How blue is that sky?
High how are the mountains,
and the ocean how wide?
How long will you love me,
and please tell me where will I be?
But here in your arms dear
when I turn 83

I woke in the morning
and you were still in my dreams
so many tomorrows are gone
but babe you were still lovin' me
we danced round the table
and there you were, smilin' at me
we'll still kiss everyday dear
when I'm 83

How red are the roses?
How blue is that sky?
High how are the mountains,
and the ocean how wide?
How long will you love me,
and please tell me where will I be?
But here in your arms dear
when I turn 83
