Verse 1 Morning finds your arms around me, Blackwine warming in the cup. I had planned to speak so calmly— Then you smile, and I look up. There are things I meant to tell you, But I lose them now and then; All my thoughts come back to knowing I’ll be yours, my love, again. Chorus Soon, my love, we’ll stand together, Say the words and share the wine. I can hardly count the mornings Till your hand is holding mine. Let the whole of Turmus gather, Let our dearest friends come in— I have loved you through the years, love, And I choose you once again. Verse 2 There are ribbons on the table, There’s a dress I’ve put aside. There are flowers still to choose from, And a smile I cannot hide. You keep adding to my planning, Then you say, “Just come sit near.” So the flowers wait till later; I would rather have you here. Chorus Soon, my love, we’ll stand together, Say the words and share the wine. I can hardly count the mornings Till your hand is holding mine. Let the whole of Turmus gather, Let our dearest friends come in— I have loved you through the years, love, And I choose you once again. Verse 3 Once in Fina, then in Svago, We have made this pledge before. Now I picture you in Turmus, Waiting near the Theater falls. Will I walk with measured footsteps? Will my voice be steady then? Or will you see me start to giggle When you take my hand again? Bridge Keep these mornings after vows, love, Keep a place beside your chair. Ask me how my day has treated me; Tell me yours, and I’ll be there. There is joy in all this planning, In the music and the wine— And in thinking, when it’s over, We’ll go home with your hand in mine. Final Chorus Soon, my love, we’ll stand together, And I’ll look into your eyes. All the waiting, all the wondering, Will give way to our replies. Let the whole of Turmus gather, Let the celebration begin— Kael, I’m counting down the mornings Till I’m your companion again. Outro Leave the flowers on the table; Come and hold me close till then. Soon, my love—so very soon— We will share the wine again.
