Pack the car, say goodbye to the kids
We'll get away for a while
Head up north to the vineyards, (maybe)
Remember how to smile
Forget about our work and worries
Forget about the bills
We’re hypnotised and mesmerised
By the white lines and these hillsDriving up through Bellbird
It's famous for the mine
Used to be a TV show
In the days of Black and white
The houses and the streets look tired
I guess I feel the same
But there's a halo ‘round the sun
As we drive on through the rainYou and me we're travellers
On this winter afternoon…….
We'll celebrate the way we do On the shortest day in June…..Sitting round this fireplace
A wineglass in our hands
Drink a toast to the memory
Of the start of something grand
I can see the burning embers, baby
Reflected in your eyes
And I am glad to share with you
A love that never dies Forget about the sadness It's a second honeymoon……
And we look forward every year to the shortest day in June……..Forget about the sadness
Though we're headed home real soon
‘Cos we'll do it all again next year -
On the shortest day in JuneForget about the sadness -
It's a second honeymoon
And we’ll look forward every year -

We were young, we were so naive
We never thought there'd be days like these
When the sky would fall and the rain come down
If it doesn't stop then we both might drown
And a big black box for all our fears
Although sometimes I might hurt you so
I just want you to know Together, forever I'll stand by you
Together, forever, whatever we do,
We made a promise and those words are true
I love you then and I love you still
So long ago and so far away
Still remember what we said that day
Said I do and it means I will
Be there for you cos' I love you still Together, forever I'll stand by you
Together, forever, whatever we do,
We made a promise and those words are true
I love you then and I love you still
Do you remember the wind in our hair
The salt on our skin
We had hardly a care
We used to think that the world was ours
For the taking, for the making We were young, we were so naive,
We never thought there'd be days like these
I'm losin' hair and we're turnin' grey
Theres lines around our eyes The road is hard and the road is long
Sometimes we're weak when we should be strong
But I don't care what the world may bring
While you wear my ring Together, forever I'll stand by you
Together, forever, whatever we do,
We made a promise and those words are true
I love you then and I love you still
Face to Face
