Soon It Shall Be

Your hair in the wind puts asunder

All the cares that this world has to give

And the lights in your eyes bring such wonder

To a man who thought all had been seen

Though the nights have been cold and unkind, dear

Oh that smile on your face is marigold

That blooms in the springtime for lovers anew

Just like the day I found you

So I wrote you this song, though in vain dear

For no lyric or rhyme can contain

All the gladness you bring to the saddest of days

Oh my love, how I yearn for you now

Though the days have grown long in our wanting

And the distance between us remains

There's a gleaming of light up ahead, dear

Yes, the sun will shine after the rain

Oh the laughter we'll share will be endless

As we're dancing beneath the moonlight

And your hand is in mine with our fingers entwined

Oh love, now, how soon it shall be

Though the waiting it seems never ending

And the hours they, pass without haste

There will soon come a day when the snow melts away

And my love will be right by my side

So you see, dear, my heart will not falter

And my hopes will not be satisfied

Till the miles have been left far behind

And no distance between us resides
