You loved me once and that was enough.
To be loved forever is forever enough.
Like grace that has come upon me
you shine
and you shine in every way.
Where the sky folds, you shine
and where the sea rolls, you shine.

And still…you shine.

I want to kiss whatever is inside of you
and know that this heart of time
still sings in key even after sixteen years.
Even after sixteen years
you bow beneath the wind and the daffodil
chasing spring and waving off the scent of winter.

And still…you shine.

There are better skies ahead
and better seasons - but none better than this love.
And still…this love shines.

Ours is a song that will last
and last until God is graying our hair
and our best is left to legacies.
Ours is a song that will last
until our voices fade
and our steps are shallow.
Ours is a song that will shine.
Ours is a song left to our children
so that they too one day
will shine.

When the universe is peeled away
and Heaven is declared
You will shine.
