I play these words for you on my piano—
Gently, softly and ever so lightly;
Rich chords to stir the music in your soul,
Sweet fading notes felt ever more deeply;
This little song of love, my gift to you
For all your tender kindness, past compare,
And all those countless things that lovers do
That make hearts sing, or simply stop and stare
At love’s pure majesty, grown one from two.
As music mingles like two rivers joined,
As arms embrace and meld fond hearts as one,
Impassioned couplings ‘neath a silver’d moon…
So let us sing and dance our life away—
And may our love’s sweet music ever play.
