Wedding Song

At the turning of another moon
 comes time to end this day
 and only so many have to pass
 as I am gone away
 So I sing you now this lullaby
 though it is bittersweet
 for we have to part when we close our eyes
 but every morning meet
 These words fall down upon this page
 I never do get to sleep
 but to be so far away from you
 I lay my head and weep
 I know this night will be over soon
 there's another day in sight
 though darkness falls on empty sheets
 only you bring in the light
 I will never be the perfect wife
 I don't even know what that is
 but I will be here and he'll always know
 that my heart is his
 So count down the days
 and draw the curtains back
 pour the wine and say
 that we'll love as much as we both can do
 until our dying day
