When the Sun Was in Your Hair

One night I dreamt of you. I fell in love with you
Under a starlit sky.
I roamed the world with you 'till the dawn brought the dew
And we watched the sunrise.
I thought you soon would be only a memory
Lost within my mind.
Then I awoke to see you were there next to me
Resting by my side.

chorus
And the morning sun was shining in your hair
A song, a smile, a moment that we shared
Still longing for the magic that was there
When the sun was in your hair


Then you smiled at me. You were in love with me.
I felt the light of your day.
And I said to you how much I cared for you.
Not enough words I could say.
We knew the world was ours as we watched the stars.
We had the whole Milky Way
And I held you tight all through that wondrous night
Hoping that you'd always stay

And so we spent the time. I was yours. You were mine.
Both of us played our parts.
When ev'ry morning came and we still felt the same
We had loved from the start.
And we hoped and prayed. We could not be afraid.
Nothing could tear us apart.
As the days went by we felt more alive
Knowing the love in our hearts.





I sing this for my wife, Kirsten (Aénor d'Anjou). I wrote it just after a breaking-up with an ex-girlfriend and before starting to date her. I guess it's about what I thought a relationship should be. Every time I sing it I think of how grateful I am for the wife who loves me and allows me to love her.
