The Blessing

In the morning when you rise, I bless the sun, I bless the skies, I bless your lips, I bless your eyes, My blessing goes with you. In the night-time when you sleep, Oh, I bless you, while a watch I keep, As you lie in slumber deep, My blessing goes with you. There is my prayer for you, there for you, ever true, Each every day for you, in everything you do, And when you come to me, and hold me close to you, I bless you... and you bless me too. When your weary heart is tired, If the world should leave you uninspired, When nothing more of love's desired, My blessing goes with you. When the storms of life are strong, When you're wounded, when you don't belong, When you no longer hear my song, My blessing goes with you. This is my prayer for you, there for you, ever true, Each every day for you, in everything you do, And when you come to me, and hold me close to you, I bless you... and you bless me too, I bless you... and you bless me too.
