A heartfelt and poignant ballad celebrating the enduring love of a wife who has stood by through trials and tribulations, capturing the essence of shared dreams, deep connections, and the journey through pain towards hope.
Verse 1:
In dreams we wander, hand in hand,
Through a world so vast, a mystic land.
Your green eyes shimmer with the light,
Of a thousand stars in the depth of night.
Chorus:
Though we lost the sun, a light so bright,
In the shadows we stand, holding tight.
You are my match, my heart, my plea,
Navigating life, just you and me.
Verse 2:
In the depths of the ocean, wild and grand,
We’ve faced the storms, we’ve made our stand.
With challenges heavy as the weight of the sea,
But I try to be all that you need from me.
Chorus:
Though we lost the sun, a light so bright,
In the shadows we stand, holding tight.
You are my match, my heart, my plea,
Navigating life, just you and me.
Bridge:
Yet as dawn rises, we find our way,
Our beautiful daughter, brightens the day.
With whispers of hope where darkness lay,
In your courage, my love, I silently pray.
Verse 3:
Face the sun, let the shadows fall,
For in our hearts, we still stand tall.
With the ocean’s depth, and the whales in the blue,
I am lost without, but I am found with you.
Chorus:
Though we lost the sun, a light so bright,
In the shadows we stand, holding tight.
You are my match, my heart, my plea,
Navigating life, just you and me.
Outro:
So here’s to us, to the paths that we choose,
With laughter and tears, there’s nothing to lose.
In every dream, and the wildest sea,
Forever you’re my love, you’re the one for me.

A bittersweet song for my wife of 10+ years, about how she is amazing and what I need, despite the suffering and loss we've encountered together
Themes / topics:
Dreams - meeting in our dreams, or meeting of our dreams
Navigating together the nadir, the dark depths, and challenges of magnitude and weight that few others can understand
Being 'my match', the 'one for me'
Green eyes
Our future direction to find ease and joy, rather than suffering and heartbreak
Using the ocean and it's depth and wildness and moods, and whales as imagery
Perhaps "we lost the sun" as a metaphor for fact our sun died at birth
I try to be the person you need, you have always been the one I need
face the sun, and shadows fall behind you, but when the sun is lost (metaphor for our son dying at birth), what then
the dawn rises (metaphor for our beautiful daughter named Dawn)
