about

This song was written in 2017 to celebrate my daughter Tessa Dunphy Toumbourou's marriage to Brad Rusbridge (www.nicholasthompsongallery.com.au/artists/brad-rusbridge/). Our family sang this song at my son Alexis Dunphy Toumbourou's marriage to Kelly Sue in 2020. I decided to publish my songs following my wife Kim Dunphy's untimely death from pancreatic cancer in 2020. All payments for this song will be used to support charitable work in Timor Leste.

lyrics

CHORUS
Am C F F C Am
We support your wedding vows// We are all your family now
In this world of mystery// Let true love be your destiny

VERSE
C G C Am C F C Am
I once was young and strong// With thick hair black and long
To a girl my heart was carried// and my true love and I were married

CHORUS

VERSE
C G C Am C F C Am
Through the years our children came // With the work love not the same
And under pressure we did fight// and had to work to put love right

CHORUS

BRIDGE
C G C Am C F C Am

VERSE
C G C Am C F C Am
Now our children have grown free// And married well beside the sea
My love and I are older now // True love keeps us strong some how
