" Oh, what a Beautiful Sunset "
( Lyrics By Gerald Logan )
( Verse 1 )
Golden rays are falling, painting heaven’s dome,
A warm summer breeze is whispering, as the daylight goes,
The fragrance of wildflowers drifts gentle through the air,
The water holds the colors, a beauty beyond compare.
( Chorus )
Oh what a beautiful sunset, red, yellow, amber glow,
The heavens are singing, performing a light show on the road,
Hearts are lifted higher, shadows fade away,
Oh what a beautiful sunset, to end a perfect day.
( Verse 2 )
Amber streaks of fire, blending soft with gold,
Stories of the daytime, in the canvas told,
From the water’s edge a loon calls, echoing so clear,
A song that stirs the silence, a voice the soul can hear.
( Verse 3 )
I lift my phone to capture, but it just won’t do,
The picture fades so quickly, it can’t hold the precious view,
Some beauty’s made for seeing, for the soul to keep,
Heaven paints a memory, deeper than the deep.
( Chorus )
Oh what a beautiful sunset, red, yellow, amber glow,
The heavens are singing, performing a light show on the road,
Hearts are lifted higher, shadows fade away,
Oh what a beautiful sunset, to end a perfect day.
( Bridge )
Then the night begins its magic, curtains in the sky,
Dancing greens and purples start to shimmer high,
The northern lights are singing, ribbons swirling bright,
And a moon of colors rises — no eyes have seen that sight.
( Chorus ) (lift)
Oh what a beautiful sunset, red, yellow, amber glow,
The heavens are singing, performing a light show on the road,
Hearts are lifted higher, colors guide the way,
Oh what a beautiful sunset… to end a perfect day.
( Outro )
No lens could ever capture, no photo ever frame,
The wonder of the heavens when the sky calls out His name,
The loon still softly calling, the breeze against my skin,
The taste of heaven’s beauty fills my soul within,
The smell of summer flowers, the fresh-cut grass it seems,
And a colored moon is shining, brighter than our dreams.
