Lyrics
JUNE 21, LOVE JOHN
(Claire Ulanoff/Jeanette Hershkowitz)
Champagne and silk, a white bouquet
Rice filled the air as they drove away
Inside her ring four words engraved
?June 21, Love John?
With every joy, past every tear
From baby toys to graying hair
The symbol of a lifetime shared
?June 21, Love John?
They?re joined by God, so perfectly
Simple and pure, it?s meant to be
The circle of love goes on and on
?June 21, Love John?
A blue velvet box, wrapped in old lace
Sits in the attic and patiently waits
Holding a golden treasure safe
?June 21, Love John?
One day another young man and his bride
Will watch it shine and realize
The message is...love never dies
?June 21, Love John?
They?re joined by God, so perfectly
Simple and pure, it?s meant to be
The circle of love goes on and on
?June 21, Love John?
