(a wedding song for Kim and Tom)
Ray of sun, a rose in winter;
In your eyes, they share their life of color:
A warm and gentle glow,
The arms I long to hold.
The days have passed
Like leaves the wind has hurried.
Always inside of me I carry
Your love that leads me here,
This moment and all time.
And all our love we affirm as one --
In the morning light I see it;
It's the light borne by the sun,
A light of something new,
A harmony of two.
Keep my solemn vow within your heart;
Oh, hold me;
I love you, my light of summer.
I watch you come to me;
In my arms, you are song and far beyond.
And now I stand with you
In my arms.
And so our sun begins to rise;
The day renews the love in your eyes.
Morning sun creates the rainbow;
Let the light caress my rose of winter
Which flowers in my soul,
Because now my heart lives
In the sun with you.
Today, we walk as one,
And the sunrise, behold,
In the dawn with you.
