about

This is a song I wrote for my parents, who were married in 1954 and have truly woven their lives together into something beautiful.

lyrics

She is a whisper, he is a stone
Set in the greenest of gardens
He is the first flower, she is the bird
Humming and hovering over

Love, isn't life wonderful
Love, haven't we seen the world
The city lights and quiet nights
Oh Love, haven't the two of us truly lived as one

She is a painting, he is a box
Of polish and brushes for shining
He is the Good Book, she is the song
That runs through the veins of her family

Love, isn't life wonderful
Love, haven't we seen the world
The city lights and quiet nights
Oh Love, haven't the two of us truly lived as one

Do you remember the day we met
Out of the stillness a song began
Now every day is a melody of you and me
