I remember all started in ninteen twenty-nine

When me and Diana came to Alaska to homestead some of this 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 time

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, my god, he's almost grown

And the baby's in the cradle fast asleep

just think, in no time he'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, doesn't it, Diana?

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

Speaking of time

I guess you know that mine's about up

I'm gonna see you tonight

Just another breath or two and I'll be home

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
