It is time to awake dear one,
open your golden-green eyes.
Kiss your love to gently wake her
to watch the morning sunrise.
Tell her that you love her.
Then take a moment to pray.
Be thankful for all you have
and for this new-sprung day.
Time passes quickly dear one.
Adding wisdom to the gold in your eyes.
kiss your love and plans make with her.
As the clouds move across the skies
tell her that you love her
then take a moment to pray.
be thankful for all you have
and for this existing day
It’s time to sleep dear one
close your golden-green eyes.
kiss your love and gently hold her
to watch the evening moon rise.
tell her that you love her
then take a moment to pray.
Be thankful for all you have
and for this gone by day
Time passes quickly dear one
the age shows in your eyes.
kiss your love and grow old with her.
as the stars move across the skies.
Tell her that you love her
then take a moment to pray
be thankful for all you have
each and every day.
All in a day: age 20
