Shimmering White

The first time I saw you, the evening was falling;
A red setting sun filled the sky.
I looked at your face and I heard kismet calling;
I silently made my reply.
Then the sunset was gone and the evenstar shone
With a radiant shimmering white
And I stood there, spellbound, never making a sound,
As our stars crossed, on high, in the night.

And the red, green and blue,
Which brought me to you,
Are changed into shimmering white.

We journeyed together, in joyous vocation
And toiled in the same fields of green.
Two hearts moving closer, towards the same station,
Till nothing remained in between.
Then that moment arose, as true love surely knows,
When the time for that question is right
And your answer would bless, with its contented “yes”,
As your smile flashed its shimmering white.

And the red, green and blue,
Which brought me to you,
Are changed into shimmering white.

We stand at the altar, our loved ones around us;
The sky overhead deepest blue.
We cherish our future, now pure love has bound us
For you will love me and I you.
And my soul brims with love, as you stand like a dove,
In your gown of pure shimmering white,
And my heart fills with pride, as I kiss my new bride,
And our dreams find their wings and take flight.

And the red, green and blue,
Which brought me to you,
Are changed into shimmering white.
