Wedding Song Lyrics

There is a bamboo tree that blooms only once in a hundred years
This is the year, your wedding year
And the bamboo blossoms just for youFor you the Columbine is blue
The paint brush flames upon the hills
For Allison and Denver John
A double sunrise lights the dawnI've watched you blossom since you met
You've made a garden out of love
With splendid flowers and bowered paths
Where I am satisfied to walkThere was a thorn in Denver's side
That Allison has pruned and clipped
A sorrow Allison could hide
That Denver soothed and comfortedEach tending to the others need
Tears and smiles looked after now
The thorns and sorrows have their place
In proper balance, like the starsYou are both brave and beautiful
My brother, whom I've loved for life
And now a sister, newly mine
To love and treasure day and nightHome to the mountains, then, we come

To celebrate in unison
All peace, and pleasure, joy and bliss
To Denver John and AllisonToday for you the Columbine is blue
The paint brush flames upon the hills
For Allison and Denver John
A double sunrise lights the dawn
