Lyrics and Music by Richie Kavanagh
(Johnny) “How long do you know the wife now lad?”
Chorus
Our Anniversary is today,
I love’s her still in the same auld way.
She is me darling, she’s me true love,
She is me turtle dove.
The first time I saw her was across the dance floor.
I knew I’d never seen her there before.
Her lovely smile her hair it did shine.
I knew then her love would be mine.
Chorus
Our Anniversary is today,
I love’s her still in the same auld way.
She is me darling, she’s me true love,
She is me turtle dove.
I brought her home on the bar of the bike.
She lived in Clonmore it was a long hike.
I cycled home by the light of the moon.
We were married the following June.
Chorus
Our Anniversary is today.
I love’s her still in the same auld way.
She is me darling, she’s me true love,
She is me turtle dove.
Well we brought up the children, though the money was tight.
We all pulled together said our prayers every night.
Through the good times, the bad times, the happy, the sad.
A better woman no man ever had.
Chorus
Our Anniversary is today.
I love’s her still in the same auld way.
She is me darling, she’s me true love,
She is me turtle dove.
Now we’er taking it easy, we’er taking our time.
We’er slowly maturing like a bottle of wine.
And we’ve been saving the best till the last.
To the future, the present, the past.
Chorus
Our Anniversary is today.
I love’s her still in the same auld way.
She is me darling, she’s me true love,
She is me turtle dove.
