Wedding Song Lyrics

Wedding Song lyrics

There is a bamboo tree that blooms

Only once in a hundred years

This is the year, your wedding year

And the bamboo blossoms just for you



For you the Columbine is blue

The paint brush flames upon the hills

For Allison and Denver John

A double sunrise lights the dawn



I've watched you blossom since you've met

You've made a garden out of love

With splendid flowers and bowered paths

Where I am satisfied to walk



There was a thorn in Denver's side

That Allison has pruned and clipped

A sorrow Allison could hide

That Denver soothed and comforted



Each tending to the others need

Tears and smiles looked after now

The thorns and sorrows have their place

In proper balance like the stars



You are, both brave and beautiful

My brother, whom I've loved for life

And now a sister, newly mine

To love and treasure day and night



Home to the mountains, then we come

To celebrate in unison

All peace, and pleasure, joy and bliss

To Denver John and Allison



Today for you the Columbine is blue

The paint brush flames upon the hill

For Allison and Denver John

A double sunrise lights the dawn
