Turning Silver Into Gold

August 3, 2008 on 3:50 pm | In General |

On July 31st we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. The theme of the occasion was turning silver into gold. And to commemorate the event I wrote a song of that name.

So for today’s post I will print the lyrics to that song, a long wih a couple of others which dealt with hallmarks of our relationship. I will also include a list of songs from my CD’s which mos deal with our relationship through the years.

Turning Silver Into Gold 6/14/08

My search ended long ago
My heart no longer beats alone
Meaning entered into my life
The moment you became my wife

I wept when I realized
We were about to share all our time

The years have treated us well
We’ve been lovers, friends and co-casters of the spell
Each night I lie with you
I drift so calm, feel grateful too

Giving you pleasure fills my days
Making you happy I’ll forever seek new ways
For 25 years we’ve lived beauty
Keeping our eyes kind and our hearts true

Though thankful I hope for so much more
The coming years hold such promise to uncork
Our early years we climbed now we can coast
Spend even more time with whom we love most

I cherish all that we create
Our endless conversation stimulates and soothes
Living beyond my dreams
Is still what you have me do

Turning silver into gold
Turning silver into gold

This song was written for our engagement. It is on the Ambivalence CD.

Beyond My Dreams

There is a woman how unfolds my heart
She came like a whisper the song of a lark
Her way is patient, delicate and brave
I only pray my love’s that wayIf I could only give her what she give to me
Could I ever give her what she gives to me?

If I be granted one talent beyond my strength it would be
To have her feel the beauty that she is
All thru life I have dreamt how I want to love
She puts those dreams to shame

You have me live beyond my dreams
Love beyond my dreams
Beyond my dreams where we belong
The land of love beyond song

The goal of the poet is in her eyes
Her beauty as natural as a harvest sky
My words too frail my heart too crude
My voice too clumsy to fashion you

All my life I will strive to be my very best
For only then will I be deserving of your love
Help me find within myself the beauty that you are
Help me show the world our sacred love

You have me live beyond my dreams
Love beyond my dreams
Beyond my dreams where we belong
The land of love beyond song

This was a honeymoon song. It’s an island piece from the Take Me CD.

Dance For Me

Dance for me
I would like to see you move so free
The movement of your hips sends waves thru me
You could be my raft, take me out to sea
When I see you move, I’m all with you
Your rhythms take me away

Dance for me, dance for me
Show me love and give me pleasure
Give me life so I need no other
Move like lightning and I’ll supply the thunder

Dance for me
I just have to reach out when you encircle me
It’s so very hot in this tropic zone
I’m feeling weak from the heat

Woman be my island, I lap at your shore
These rhythms keep demanding more

Dance for me, dance for me
Show me love and give me pleasure
Give me life so I need no other
Move like lightning and I’ll supply the thunder

Dance for me
You are the one, you are the one
My little island
Dance for me

The last song I’m printing the lyric to is from the CD entitled Mortal Joy.

10,000 Miles

I’ve walked 10,000 miles with you, each day brings something new
I’ve held you 10,000 times, each morning and every night
I feel your heart beating and hear your soft breathing too
Time begins and ends with you

I build on history and play on the rhythm of the day
This is where I want to stay, I’ve no urge to go away
Moment have meaning when we are sharing our view
Finding words which capture and sooth

Walking down the winding road with you
So much we’ve accomplished so much left for us to do
Keep me laughing keep me seeking truth
Keep me bursting keep me loving you

I’ve talked 10,000 times with you about feelings as clues
I’ve watched you 10,000 times to understand or just admire
Aging is easy when history is split in two…
Between the world and me and you

Walking down the winding road with you
So much we’ve accomplished so much left for us to do
Keep me laughing keep me seeking truth
Life is magic to denude

I’ve walked with you 10,000 miles
I’ve searched with you 10,000 miles
I’ve talked with you 10,000 times
