Once upon a time and long ago or so, as ev'ry love story goes
In a land far away from here, far from anywhere
In the gardens of her father's hall watching the autumn leaves
Singing to the birds and to the trees.
Waiting for a man to come along, waiting so long
Waiting to hear the words to a song.
And then one day there came a minstrel strolling by
Singing to the birds and to the trees, singing for everyone
He sang of wondrous thing, of the magic inside ev'rything
The earth, the moon, the sun and the breeze
He sang of meadows green, of lovers watching the dawn
He sang of deeds and days long gone.
Then off they rode together hand in hand and side by side
Singing to the birds and to the trees, singing for love
Making songs and dreams, waking lonely melodies
Singing down the moon and the stars high above
Perhaps someday, their fairytale won't end.
Perhaps the sun will rise again
Weary of winter, I'm waiting for summertime
Waiting for the sun.
Wanting to be with you, wanting a moment to
See everything we've begun.
To hold your hand in mine, and stroll along for a while
Knowing I'm the reason for your smile
Weary of winter, I'm waiting for summertime
Waiting for the sun.
My wife waited 3 or 4 years for me to complete this song for her. I think she likes it. It's just slightly autobiographical. I really should write some more songs for her.
