On this day - rewrite - song

I took my original poem and rewrote it as a song for my daughters wedding. Below you will find a link to the actual song.

 

On This Day

 

 

Brought to life, while standing in a meadow

Catch a breeze within your flowing hair

Hear the joy of sunny days before you

Take this hand and he will take you there

 

Touch the sky of azure placed aroma

Feel the grass a’ mingle through your toes

Laugh a while and smile at all you witness

Of this dream, a garden shower glows

 

Chorus 1

 

Linger on of sunny blessings flowing

Round and round about your eyes to see

Filtered beams of saffron coated flowers

Holding true of all you mean to me

 

 

This my child, is all I can imagine

As my mind does breathe the scent of you

In my heart now runs a raging river

Tiny waves of everlasting true

 

Dance this day, for you have caught the rainbow

Listen close and hear the church bell toll

On this beach where wonders start to happen

And he takes you for his very own

 

Chorus 2

 

Whisper soft and tell me that you're happy

Drink a toast your life does start anew

This will be your everyday before us

On this day your dreams will all come true

 

Instrumental

 

Repeat chorus 2

 

Repeat last line

Your baby girl will have one more fond memory of her father to carry with her in life's long journey.
What a beautiful gift Jack!
Your daughter is as lovely a bride as any man could desire if she is even half as beautiful of spirit as she is in her picture. I suspect she is actually even more beautiful in her heart knowing the heart of her father.
Congratulations Jack! A happy sorrow...

[Jack...]

Thanks so very much David. I appreciate your kind words.

Thanks so very much Kimmer. The wedding was perfect and the song made her cry, or maybe it was the singing. Well something did. :)
