Sometimes I think of you, and tears fill my eyes
To think of the meaning you’ve given my life
You’ve touched me in places no one ever reached
You’ve given me reason and cause to believe
You are my rainbow; you’ve colored my life
And you are my sunshine; I’m warm in your light
You are my fountain that never runs dry
You’re my inspiration, my reason to try

I’ll love you ’til green grass turns lavender blue
And all the stars fall from heaven and vanish like dew
‘Til horses and chariots chase down the wind
That’s when I’ll leave you, I’ll love you ’til then

I’ll love you ’til green grass turns lavender blue
And all the stars fall from heaven and vanish like dew
‘Til horses and chariots chase down the wind
That’s when I’ll leave you, I’ll love you ’til then

I’ll love you ’til green grass turns lavender blue
And all the stars fall from heaven and vanish like dew
‘Til horses and chariots chase down the wind
That’s when I’ll leave you, I’ll love you ’til then

That’s when I’ll leave you, yes
I’ll leave you then
I’ll need you ’til then
I’ll love you ’til then…
