D
It all started in 1929 me and
Diana had gone to Alaska to
homestead some of that free government land

D
Forty miles from the nearest gravel road
    G                   Em        A
We cut our life in the ponderosa pines
     D
We sweated hard to beat the winter snow
         G              A                 D
But the cabin's up and we've got lots of times

Chorus:
D                  G               D/F# D
What have you got planned tonight Diana
       G            Em          A
Would you consider laying in my arms
D                    G          D
I love you more than ever now Diana
     G               A            D
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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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
