Lyrics
Vows
The day is dawning, the ocean is yawning
As we drift on the waves of sleep
May our dreams stay safe when we awake
May the vows we take be the vows we keep
You help me to work, you help me to play
I like to talk to you and hear what you have to say
The wind is blowing as the day is growing
You keep me laughing when the storms come my way
Like the moon our love shines a path through the night
It changes, has its phases, waits patiently when out of sight
Orange, yellow, honey-colored, sometimes even blue
Reliable and yet mysterious too
May we have faith in our love
Like the moon trusts in the sun
The day is dawning, the ocean is yawning
As we drift on the waves of sleep
May our dreams stay safe when we awake
May the vows we take be the vows we keep
