Together, At Last

Setting: A man and woman are reunited in a garden after an unbearably long separation. From the viewpoint of the man. Now the sun is slowly rising o'er the mountains And it lights a sea of diamonds on the flowers kissed with dew It is shining golden beams into the garden And they cast a shade of auburn on your hair of golden hue So here is what I have to say: The flowers in their beauty have seemed to fade And here, these diamonds seem to be afraid At sight of you The trees, though standing strong and firm Could not be half as staunchly ever true While here upon the grass I stand I'll hold your hand And then we'll stroll about this garden for a day I'll hear you say The things that I have longed to hear And perhaps we will share joy and tears Being here by your side Makes all cares to subside For I know winds may blow But the past is washed away Now I'm here, and I'm here Foreverlong to stay Or so I pray Now the sun is slowly setting in the garden And the shades of fiery gold and orange have changed to grey and blue The moon shines in your eyes this starry night And words can't seem to tell the love I have for you. ~This was written for the contest "Lyrics To Le Jardin D'Adonis" sponsored by Craig Cornish.
