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
