Lyrics

2. SUMMER WINE AND ROSES
You and me & a wedding cake; fifty years we mark the date.
Bow ties and lace; I remember your face,
Smiling, toss a garter catch a wish.
Just married on a rainbow and a kiss.

Chorus:
You’re the rose still blooming in my soul,
The feeling of shelter from the cold.
It was under a red August moon,
We made summer wine and roses for two.

Roses have beauty and roses have thorns.
We have each other, a smile in the morn,
Shining, with the little things you do,
And a rose blooms with every I love you.

(Chorus)

You fill my pages with poetry, my music with melody.
You are the sunshine that helps my heart grow,
Imagine, with angels as we go,
From a yes to a Golden bless this home.

(Chorus)
