It all started in 1929 me and Diana had gone to Alaska

To homestead some of that free government land



Forty miles from the nearest gravel road

we cut our life in the ponderosa pines

We sweated hard to beat the winter snow

But the cabin's up and we've got lots of times



What have you got planned tonight Diana

would you consider laying in my arms

I love you more than ever now Diana

I'm sure you're the reason I was born



Jim was born the first year we were here

look at him Diana he's almost grown

And the baby's in the cradle fast asleep

just think in no time they'll be up and gone



What have you got planned tonight Diana

would you consider laying in my arms

I love you more than ever now Diana

I'm sure you're the reason I was born



Well time sure does fly by doesn't it Diana

It's been almost two years now since you've been gone

Speaking of time

I guess mine's about up

Just another breath or two

And I'll be home

And by the way



What have you got planned tonight Diana

would you consider laying in my arms

I love you more than ever now Diana

I'm sure you're the reason I was born
