It all started in nineteen twenty-nine
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 lying 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 lying 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
Think children grew up so fast
But I guess they deserve
To see the world now, don't they?
But you know, Diana
Remembering how you loved me
And how much I love you
I don't feel so alone
What have you got planned tonight, Diana?
Would you consider lying in my arms?
I love you more than ever now, Diana
I'm sure you're the reason I was born
What have you got planned tonight, Diana?
Would you consider
Lying in my arms?
I love you more than ever now, Diana
I'm sure you're the reason
I was born
