A song for my wife, for our 40th Wedding Anniversary - Too soppy? Please comment |
Our life together is often linked by golden songs Of moments captured, warm and true and rare Those songs that carry memories, they often speak for me Sewn into words reflecting how we care Crazy Mr Bowie could always rock our world And John's sunshine voice always warmed us so And Fern knew that together we were beautiful Though we were all revved up with no place to go And they lifted us with their own dreams and visions And we smile and dance and fall around the room And recall the joys that wove us close together But after all this time, and after all those songs Someone else's words just won't do For 40 Decembers, I sang with someone else's voice I let so many strangers declare my love for you But mow it's time to tell my girl what she really means to me, And on this day, someone else's words won't do So, I recall the winding roads of expectation And the First Class sound of brass in summer sun And feel the drizzle of mountainside while we lay in each others arms And that crazy mixed up joy of being young I'm ever grateful for that day I saw your smiling face Expecting someone else to grace my view And I never shall regret the paper ring I forged Or the beautiful adventure it led us to And though I'm grateful to the poets for their sentiments And the thousand vibrant voices that have shined Using someone else's words to speak to you today Won't be enough to speak for me this time Remember..... It was cold, but it was sunny, the week of Christmas, that aint funny! I was hungover, like a jerk, stood nervously, before the clerk But you were there, and you were fine, so beautiful, and you shined That was our day, we'd be one, though they said we were too young We faced the world, and we signed, your slender hand, warm in my mine And there it began, our mystery ride, with my girl, my love, my bride You're my lady of the Rhododendrums, don't you know? The Prettiest nurse that ever nursed me through And though the pretty valleys always captivated us Gelert's graceful beauty always bowed to you You are my friend and my ambassador The beauty of the beast You're the mistress of my madness And the the Princess of my peace For my lady of the Rhododendrums dancing in your hair Thank you for always being at my side With sparkling smile and wondrous eyes, amd a heart that is laid bare My precious wife, my lovely blushing bride So please accept this humble song with love from me After 40 years I finally came through It won't make sun shine down upon your shoulders But every word I sing to you today is true (Or alternatively – But I'm the only one who knows the inner you) And it's not someone else's words Not other people's words But this song This simple song Is only for you I sing this song for you |
