Text/歌詞


Where rainbows bow and willows weep
Where sunlight glows and moonbeams creep
Where shooting stars embrace the sea
'Tween dusk and dreams you wait for me

We sat within a field of green
Staring at the peaceful scene
Stretching far as we could see
Were flowers blooming bright and free

On glowing sand kissed by the sun
Your warmth was there for everyone
As sunlight cast its parting glow
Sinking ‘neath waves, we watched it go

We sat beneath wise autumn's oak
Caressed the bark with tender stroke
As colors changed and leaves they fell
We said a silent last farewell

'Tween flower's bloom and darkest gloom
'Tween ocean's flow and sunlight's glow
'Tween colors change and oak leave's fall
You wait for me

We sat amidst the snow's descent
Like white rain from the heavens sent
Breath condensed before your face
I held you in our last embrace
We gazed up at the somber sky
With quiet calm you then reply
"Though in Spring you'll begin anew
In the next world I wait for you"

Where rainbows bow and willows weep
Where sunlight glows and moonbeams creep
Where shooting stars embrace the sea
'Tween love and loss you wait for me
