My Vancouver

It  was early in the springtime

The snow had left the ground

When I landed in Vancouver,

My new home I had found. . .

The morning mist caressed the dawn

of a new day just begun

And the seagulls played their favorite game

of hide and go seek with the sun. . .

Two Lions stood on a north shore ridge

Guarding English Bay

So I kissed the bloom of the Dogwood Tree

for I knew I was here to stay. . .

I could see the white caps breaking

Beating time upon the shore

Telling tales of many ship wrecks

That for me there'd be in store. . .

And the silence of the moonlight

Casting shadows in the sand

Broken only by my heartbeat

Like the bass drum in a band. . .

Raindrops on a rosebud

Glistened like a tear

And a love for me was blooming

in the summer of that year. . .

Well I've chased a million rainbows

And I've crossed a thousand streams

But my heart is in Vancouver

The City of my dreams. . .

There is magic in the mountains

There is laughter in the sea

Vancouver,  Oh Vancouver

I am coming home to thee.
