I wrote this song for Gene’s sister Paula and her husband Dave, and I sang it at their wedding. Paula and Dave met sailing, and they got married outdoors on a beautiful summer day at a spot overlooking the Detroit River.
You be the sailor, and I’ll be the blue
of the sky in the summer at noon.
Honey, you be the water, and I’ll be the sun
You’ll be my canvas, and before the wind we’ll run
You be the waves that everyone can see
and I’ll be the current that moves us from beneath.
Let’s make a picture of our life from now on – down by the river
You be the painter, and I’ll be the joy
of the picture that’s coming to life.
Honey, you be the colors, and I’ll be the brush
You’ll be my canvas, and I’ll cover you with love.
Yes, you be the colors, and I’ll be the brush
You’ll be my canvas, and I’ll cover you with love.
