This is a song for a wedding and is perfect for lighting of the unity candle. I wrote this for my daughter's wedding in 2003. I had a women sing verse 1 and a man sing verse 2. It is about how friendship can lead to love. This version is with flute and piano. It is for a vocal duet. cdboss@cvalley.net - see lyrics below:
For Always
Unity Candle
Composed by Connie Boss
Verse 1:
The first time that I saw you, we passed each other by
Then I took a second look and something caught my eye
The more I came to know you, you became my friend
And I knew I could count on you through thick and thin
Verse 2:
The first time that I saw your face, you wore a pretty smile
The next time I ran into you, I couldnt get you off my mind
The closer that I came to you, a friend you were to me
And I knew I could count on you through eternity
Bridge 1:
When two flames are touched together,
The flame becomes much brighter
When God unites two friends forever,
Their love becomes much stronger
Bridge and final ending:
For love is built from friendship
And friendship leads to love
And our love leads us here today
To take the final step
For always
For always
For always
