Beautiful ballad of love and timelessness
Piano ~ Daniel Ho

Two long time friends of Faith's were getting married. As they are both thespians at heart, it was only appropriate that their wedding song be penned by none other than William Shakespeare.

SO LONG AS (Album: WONDER) by FAITH RIVERA and Daniel Ho
lyrics by William Shakespeare (Sonnet XVIII)
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
So long as I can breathe, or my eyes can see,
So long lives love, and you give life to me.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
So long as I can breathe, or my eyes can see,
So long lives love, and you give life to me.
