To Have Called You, "Dear"

The road is long, the path is steep
We'll travel miles before we sleep
But step by step for a little while
And soon we've walked another mile
It will take time to see us thru
We've come this far, just me and you
We may not know what tomorrow brings
But like the sun, hope eternal springs
What time I have, I'll spend with you
There's nothing more I'd rather do
And when at last comes the setting sun
And fades to black my day now done
I will look back upon my past
And I will see it went too fast
And that I'm blest to have called you, "Dear"
For time stands still when you are near
For time stands still when you are near.

While listening to "The Water is Wide", this song/poem came to me. I have included a midi of the song and hopefully it adds enjoyment to the piece.
