College days, a freshman dream
A brand new start
Then I saw you, Mary
Stole my beating heart
Walked into my life
A radiant glow, a gentle grace
Brown sugar sweet
Left me smiling, a happy trace
My future wife
I knew it then, deep in my soul
You made me whole
You took control, played a vital role
Nakupenda sana
My love so true, a bond so deep
Promises we’d make
Secrets we would keep
Oh, the rhythm of our life
A melody so clear
Oh, the rhythm of our life
Through every joy and tear
Mary, Mary
We keep it strong, we keep it near
Mary, Mary
We’re growing old together here
Late-night walks
When the campus lights were soft and low
Your hand in mine
Through every turn, through every road
We built a home
In every look and every laugh
A steady flame
A promise sealed in photograph
When days were hard
You held my head above the rain
One whispered word
And even hurt would fade again
Oh, the rhythm of our life
A melody so clear
Oh, the rhythm of our life
Through every joy and tear
Mary, Mary
We keep it strong, we keep it near
Mary, Mary
We’re growing old together here
And if the years
Come quick, come slow, come calling loud
I’ll still find you
Right in the center of the crowd
Nakupenda sana
My forever, my calm, my home
With you beside me
I’m never walking on my own
Oh, the rhythm of our life
A melody so clear
Oh, the rhythm of our life
Through every joy and tear
Mary, Mary
We keep it strong, we keep it near
Mary, Mary
We’re growing old together here
Oh, the rhythm of our life
Mary, Mary
