If I had time and money 

I’d take you on a cruise

But lack of cash ain’t funny

And time is hard to lose

Around our treasured past

The wine of joy we’ll sip then

A vintage that will last


To Hampstead, Hornsey, Oldham,

And Brentford’s golden years

Such memories – we’ll hold ‘em – 

Good times outweigh the tears


The future though is waiting 

To give us more than gold

New joys now creating

While we stand brave and bold


With so much going for us

Cash thoughts won’t be a bar

I hear the Lord implore us

To value what we are

Two young folks going far.

Muttering something, the tone a sign...
