This song was written by Valdore Pelletier, dedicated “To Ruby Pelletier, the mother of our children,” and while the family knows the tune, the notes have not been placed on sheet music. Val and Ruby have been married for 61 years.
It is only for you that I live
Many years have gone by for us darling
Your love I will never forget
Some good some bad I remember
Going back to the first day we met
It is only for you that I live
The Love in my heart to you I give
It is only for you that I live
It started the first day we met
On the day that the clouds are above me
You are there to hold out your hand
But when the sun shines and we are alone
I see the gleam in that old wedding band
It is only for you that I live
The Love in my heart to you I give
It is only for you that I live
Going back to the first day we met
There were times when we had to be apart
All those days and nights were counted in my heart
They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
But to be away from you just makes me wonder
It is only for you that I live
The Love in my heart to you I give
It is only for you that I live
Going back to the first day we met
