"Sunrise, Sunset"

cji
3/l2/99

Verse 1
********

Has it even been so long
that we have gazed together
to see the sunrise or set
in cloudy skies or clear
to remember how long ago
we said the words of forever?

Verse 2
********

Could it only have been
just a yesterday we knelt
and took these eternal vows
to forever share this life
private to us this and every day
the glory of the suns rays to view?

Verse 3
********

Was it from afar you saw me
or when first I saw you that
we both knew this was true
that the sun would rise and set
eternally for me and a you?

Verse 4
********

I've often wondered if you'd
ever wished for someone new
to watch the sun come into view
but with your arms around me
now entwined somehow I always knew.

Verse 5
********

So as this date comes and goes each year
I never count the cloudy day or clear
all I really count on is that you love me
and I love you more than when first
we shared the sunrise and sunset
of our lives when we first met.

Verse 6
********

This my darling is then for you
to know how much more you are
than ever I thought I deserved
and blessed we are each day
when the sun rises to greet us now
and then sets at the end of the day.
