As Somewhere Off in the Distance

Beside the ocean waters brilliant and crystal blue

I stand upon the seashore with my true love, you

I hold your hands and gaze silently into your eyes

As somewhere off in the distance a seagull cries

A soft breeze caught in tresses of your hair

Move wisps of floating locks to lay upon a face so fair

Though we stand for a time unknown, the minutes pass us by

As somewhere off in the distance a seagull takes wing to fly

Lost am I in the wonder that brought me to your side

Just how was I chosen to win the love for which I vied

This love we have today we’ll share always through our days

As somewhere off in the distance a seagull floats beneath sun rays

As we leave the seashore strand our lives to now start

I feel the enamored gift plentifully fulfilled in my heart

And the joys of this feeling is more than I ever hoped for

As somewhere off in the distance a seagull flies as he soars
