Lyrics At the Gates (For Abbi) - James Ross

I'll never get over the first time I told you
I want to be close and I want to grow old with you
Six years ago since the day that we met
And I hope that you still feel as in love as I do

I crossed my fingers and told you to meet
At the bridge on the water
By the house that we moved to
I got on my knees and
I told you I loved you
You told me that you do
I gave a ring to you

I will be your memory

When my time is over and I've flown away
You'll carry my soul in your heart every day
Remember I told you I loved you to death
I can't wait for the moment I see you again

You watched as I left
With a final goodbye
I promise I'll miss you
I promise I'll try to
Look after you each day
That the sun arrives
I'll be your guardian
I'll be your light

You have been my everything

When my time is over and I've flown away
You'll carry my soul in your heart every day
Remember I told you I loved you to death
I can't wait for the moment I see you again

Do you promise to carry yourself with a smile?
Look after your future and mother our child
When you are old and your memory fades
You know I'll be waiting for you at the gates
You know I'll be waiting for you at the gates
