Wedding Song

At the turning of another moon

comes time to end this day

and only so many have to pass

as I am gone away

So I sing you now this lullaby

though it is bittersweet

for we have to part when we close our eyes

but every morning meet

These words fall down upon this page

I never do get to sleep

but to be so far away from you

I lay my head and weep

I know this night will be over soon

there's another day in sight

though darkness falls on empty sheets

only you bring in the light

I will never be the perfect wife

I don't even know what that is

but I will be here and he'll always know

that my heart is his

So count down the days

and draw the curtains back

pour the wine and say

that we'll love as much as we both can do

until our dying day
