Until My Breath Wings Away

For life and love and summer breeze
                      For memories that fly with ease
For days with you that bring to mind
                     The greatest joy that I may find

For music that reflects the sun
                             For you and I to be as one 
For roses that perfume the air
                  as fingers ruffle through your hair

For thoughts of peace that fill my heart
                       For knowing we will never part
For saying I will always stay
                  Until my breath should wing away
