tonight is the night of which I dreamt
and saw a smile on your lips and a flower in your hand
I saw tulips and bougainvilleas, roses and daffodils
they opened their petals like the sunflower
you asked me to close my eyes in delight
and when you held my hand and whispered into my ear
I heard words I love to hear and cherish forever
your love for me is wonderful passing the love of a princess
to you then I vow to make you my own
to you I give this ring to cherish till we meet at Heaven’s Gate
where my eyes like petals of a sunflower
will forever look at your face
and with a smile remember the dream of that night
when first we met behind the sheet of our eyes
and the story became a song on village lanes
