The long wait is now over
Your invitation is here
The time at last has arrived
For the event of the year

Cherry blossom and blue sky
So much joy this pair will bring
A marriage made in heaven
A celebration of spring

Billowing clouds of blossom
Delicate cherry pink haze
Stop and take just a moment
Hold the image in your gaze

Take the memory with you
Keep it safely in your mind
Maybe this time tomorrow
This sight may be hard to find

A splendid spring sensation
Pretty pink flowers on trees
Here for only a few days
Too soon lost upon a breeze

When the fanfare is over
The petals fall to the ground
Like confetti at a wedding
Now scattered all around
