The Bride

song to the beloved

Dawn light, on your face
Future beckons on
But no need now to race

stillness, a cocoon
soft bedsheets
a warm and cosy room

Chorus

Lying here beside you, 
In the morning light
Still can’t believe it’s true
Finding you beside me
The oneness of embrace
Just loving you

Standing now, here with you
Sun gleaming in your hair
Sparkling eyes so blue

Walking, by your side
Hand in hand 
Sweet memories abide.

Chorus

Lying here beside you, 
In the bright sunlight
Still can’t believe it’s true
Finding you beside me
The oneness of embrace
Just loving you

Years, they roll by
Kindness and forgiveness
Laughter lines on eyes

Pain and grief, along for the ride
living faith, belief
confide

Chorus

Lying here beside you, 
In the fading light
Still can’t believe it’s true
Finding you beside me
The oneness of embrace
Just loving you

Sun sinks slowly, in the west
Old heart beats
butterfly in the chest

Now slowly fading, Out of view
Together still
me and you

Chorus

Lying here beside you, 
In the cool damp earth
Still can’t believe it’s true
Finding you beside me
Still the oneness of embrace
Always loving you
