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

wonderful tribute.....beautiful song....my friend you have such a gift

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Carol. It makes it easy when you have someone beautiful to write it for.

[Rita L. Sev]

This is a gorgeous tribute to Love, a wonderful gift for your beautiful daughter. This line: Dance this day, for you have caught the rainbow... should be put onto a plaque or etched onto a picture frame that holds her wedding portrait. It captures the essence of a joyous wedding day, and every day of the happy marriage that follows...

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Rita. She was thrilled when she heard the song.

[Rita L. Sev]

I'm sure she was - a tangible offering of a father's love...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A really beautiful tribute to a lovely daughter Jack!

[Jack...]

Thanks so much John.

[QuietlyCrash]

Oh my gosh! How sweet is this! It's so evident to see how much you love your daughter, this song says it all. I'm tearing up from the sweetness of it all. Thank you for sharing such a precious song and day for you.
Oh and your daughter is beautiful. :)
-Riley

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much Riley. I appreciate your kind words.

[Quill~]

Oh my goodness... this is making me tear up!
Your words (in this song) are so beautiful, and so is your daughter. I'm sure she cherishes this. You are an amazing and gifted writer Jack. Well done!

[Jack...]

Thank you so very much my friend. It brought her to tears as well. But you can see from the photo, it didn't take her long to smile again. :)

[Quill~]

and nothing beats a smiling bride! :)

[Emerald Seas]

Oh, I loved hearing it. Is that you singing? Very well done, my friend! I net there wasn't a dry eye at the wedding. Oh and no I did not have to sign in. It plays fine right from the link :)
Love the tone of the music - just perfect!

[Jack...]

Yep, that is me singing and playing. It was a bit rushed, I had to do this in one night as I was out of time. Thanks my sweet friend.

[s y e]

Firstly, your daughter is gorgeous, she is glowing! (:

Secondly, this was amazing and so touching! I'm sure she would have loved it. ((: It's so touching and the wording is beautiful!

Thirdly, you singing the song, makes it even more special, its amazing. Well done, Jack!

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Noodle. Could you hear the song?

[s y e]

I loved the song!

[Frieda P]

So lovely, your daughter is glowing, I've heard the song already, not sure if you fixed the link since then but I didn't have a problem opening it. Wish you had a pic of her when you were singing, would have loved to see the look on her face, what a perfect day that must have been....sigh.

[Jack...]

Thank so much Frieda. Perhaps the photographer got one, when I recieve those pics, if I find one I will send it to you.

[Frieda P]

Thanks I would love that, did you fix this link, not sure if it's because I've listened to this on sound cloud already, could be the reason I can access it....

[Jack...]

Hell, I don't really understand how it all works. I just had C.E.K. Nelson say they had to register to hear it. I can't check from here, soundcloud is blocked at my office. But it is the same link I sent you before, so I guess we will see.

[Frieda P]

I never registered for it, plenty of people post to sound cloud here and have never had to do that before....

[Jack...]

Well maybe it is blocked on their computer and they don't realize it.

[Emerald Seas]

Ah shoot, the link won't work from the office. I am registered (I think, it's been ages since I went to soundcloud) The reading is just beautiful, Jack! I can't wait to hear it. Congratulations to you and to your wonderful daughter. I'm sure she treasured this wonderful gift!

I'll log in from home and listen in later this afternoon :)

[Jack...]

Thanks my friend...she cried as did many in attendance. I'm told the groom kept telling her to think of something else because he could see she was losing it, but it didn't work.

[Angel]

I wish I could hear it...I'll bet it's beautiful with music...

I love it, Jack, as you knew I would.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Angel.
