Soon It Shall Be

Your hair in the wind puts asunder
All the cares that this world has to give
And the lights in your eyes bring such wonder
To a man who thought all had been seen

Though the nights have been cold and unkind, dear
Oh that smile on your face is marigold
That blooms in the springtime for lovers anew
Just like the day I found you

So I wrote you this song, though in vain dear
For no lyric or rhyme can contain
All the gladness you bring to the saddest of days
Oh my love, how I yearn for you now

Though the days have grown long in our wanting
And the distance between us remains
There's a gleaming of light up ahead, dear
Yes, the sun will shine after the rain

Oh the laughter we'll share will be endless
As we're dancing beneath the moonlight
And your hand is in mine with our fingers entwined
Oh love, now, how soon it shall be

Though the waiting it seems never ending
And the hours they, pass without haste
There will soon come a day when the snow melts away
And my love will be right by my side

So you see, dear, my heart will not falter
And my hopes will not be satisfied
Till the miles have been left far behind
And no distance between us resides
