On A Beautiful Spring Day
I met you on a Sunday, on a beautiful Spring day
You watched me from the back of the church
I just walked by you and never uttered a word.
Everything was blooming and you drove by me
You asked if I'd walk by the lake with you,
On that beautiful Spring day, I smiled and nodded, "yes".
You picked me flowers and I cherished those wild flowers...
Time went by and like flowers, so bloomed our love
A year later on a beautiful Spring day, we married
Holding a bouquet of Spring flowers, I whispered, "I Do".
One day you got ill on a beautiful Spring day
With all the beautiful flowers blooming, you passed away
Years later, I stand here on a beautiful Spring day
All the beautiful flowers blooming now remind me of you
Maybe on a beautiful Spring day with the sun shining
You'll be holding wild flowers for me at Heaven's gates.
And together we will walk again, Forever...
On A Beautiful Spring Day....
The Wings of Love
When I feel you near, at times I can't breathe
Your presence makes me sigh, and my eyes close
trying to compose my feelings that can't be denied
No doubt that even after death this love will not die
The wings of love surround us on this beautiful night
and will lift us up above the heavens to meet the moon
This memorable evening never to be forgotten and
one that will go on and on through the passages of time
I find you even in the most unlikely places of my heart
and I have new eyes that see only the most Beautiful You
I am the sky that fills you arms and heart tonight
as we dance beautifully together between the stars.
Where Love Resides
Where golden strings play songs so sweet
and the many colors of red reside
there also resides my love
When the song of a sparrow touches my soul
and the signs of Spring show off their colors
So also shows the colors of my love
If the rains come and clouds shadow me
and if my tears fall like the drops that stream down my window
they cleanse my heart so love can shine through again
And, what comes my way, whether happy or sad
I know tomorrow will bring a brighter day
For I look to the heavens and know, the greatest love resides there
