SONG: IN THE SUNRISE I SEE HIS FACE
​Dedicated to my love, Scott A. Diiorio

I saw him first, a DJ at a social dance
And his smile lit up my empty heart
As we talked I felt my soul was telling me
Something new and wonderful would start
 

The minutes stretched on, becoming hours
And soon the hours stretched on for many days
And now I'm on the road feeling him still near
As there breaks a dawn with golden rays

 

Chorus:

For in the sunrise I see his face
With hues of storm reflected in his eyes
And In his voice the laughter of the wild west wind
And I feel that love is drawing nigh


For in the mountains I feel his strength 
And in the woods his heart of living green
And In his mind the depths of the universe
Where eternal starlight can be seen


I recall the joy of his embrace
And I feel such peace within this place


For in the sunrise 
Yes, in the sunrise
I see his face
 

Now my hopes are trembling on the verge of love
I cannot cease imag'ning life with him
For every sweet and precious moment with this man
Turns the pain of a lifetime slowly dim

From this day on each morning I'll awake from rest
With my lover's arms around me tight
And I'll rise to greet the dawn's pure radiance
As with joy I thank the breaking light

Chorus Reprise:

For in the sunrise I see his face
With hues of storm reflected in his eyes
And In his voice the laughter of the wild west wind
And I feel that love is drawing nigh


For in the mountains I feel his strength 
And in the woods his heart of living green
And In his mind the depths of the universe
Where eternal starlight can be seen


I recall the joy of his embrace
And I feel such peace within this place


For in the sunrise 
Yes, in the sunrise
I see his face

I see His Face
