Been looking through our cardboard box

Of photos old and new

So many loving memories

Of good times shared with you

All those captured moments

A flashback through the years

I studied each one carefully

I even shed some tears

I wanted something different

As your birthday drawing near

Not take another snapshot

Like every other year

Don’t need another photograph

That no one else will see

I’ve locked a loving padlock

To the railings by the quay

The lock is there for all to see

And everyone will know

The memories that I cherish

And the feelings that I show

It represents the love we share

Our love will never falter

I took the keys and closed my eyes

Then threw them in the water

The keys they know the secret

Of what lies within my heart

And while that padlock's on that rail

I know we’ll never part
