Wedding Song Lyrics - Judy Collins

There is a bamboo tree that blooms only once in a hundred years 

This is the year, your wedding year 

And the bamboo blossoms just for you 

For you the Columbine is blue 

The paint brush flames upon the hills 

For Allison and Denver John 

A double sunrise lights the dawn 

I've watched you blossom since you met 

You've made a garden out of love 

With splendid flowers and bowered paths 

Where I am satisfied to walk

There was a thorn in Denver's side 

That Allison has pruned and clipped 

A sorrow Allison could hide 

That Denver soothed and comforted 

Each tending to the others need 

Tears and smiles looked after now 

The thorns and sorrows have their place 

In proper balance, like the stars 

You are both brave and beautiful 

My brother, whom I've loved for life 

And now a sister, newly mine 

To love and treasure day and night 

Home to the mountains, then, we come 

To celebrate in unison 

All peace, and pleasure, joy and bliss 

To Denver John and Allison
