I Tip My Hat To Love (The wedding song) Mark Neihart 2010 Join me everybody As I tip my hat to love It takes my breath away When I hear the angels Sing above Babalis and Stoner Joined together on this day Love Came down and chased The clouds of doubt away Love is like a dancer in a river Full with bliss Splashing up the magic Between the lover and the kiss Splashing up a melody So sacred and divine All of us dancers We can’t help But step the time Cause were dancing Deep in the bliss of love Dancing Deep in the bliss of love I bow my head In humbleness When faced With the face of love Awestruck Wonder Heartland Fertile Peaceful Flying dove Found there spinning In the symmetry of truth And grace All of my wholeness Raptures As Love moves and shakes Love is like that dancer in a river Full with bliss Kind of like The Ecstasy Between the lover and the kiss Kind of like a secret That is Open in plain sight All awash in magic All awash in light Cause were dancing Deep in the bliss of love Dancing Deep in the bliss of love Join me everybody As I tip my hat To love It takes my breath Away When I hear the angels Sing above Babalis and Stoner Joined together on this day Love came down And chased the clouds of doubt Away

Join me everybody as I tip my hat to love It’s always a pleasure when I hear the angels sing above Babalis and Stoner joined together on this day Love turned round and chased the clouds of doubt away. Love is like a dancer in a river full of bliss Splashing up the magic, of the lover and the kiss Splashing up a melody so sacred and divine All us dancers can’t help but dance to the time Yes were dancing Deep in the bliss of love We are Dancing Deep in the bliss of love. I bow my head in humbleness, when faced with the face of love Awestruck wonder heartland, fertile peaceful flying dove Found there spinning in a symmetry of truth and grace All my wholeness raptures as it moves and shake. And were dancing Deep in the bliss of love We are Dancing Deep in the bliss of love. Love is like a dancer in a river full of bliss like and ecstasy , between the lover and the kiss Kind of like a secret, living open in plain sight All awash in magic, all awash in light And Were dancing Deep in the bliss of love We be Dancing Deep in the bliss of love.

Join me everybody as I tip my hat to love I can’t help but marvel each and every time it’s, a… Found there spinning in the symmetry of truth and grace All my wholeness can feel the whole thing move and shake. Love is like a dancer in a river full of bliss Kind of like an ecstasy, a lover and a kiss Kind of like a secret living open out in plain view sight All awash in magic, all awash in light And I’m dancing Deep in the bliss of love I’m Dancing Deep in the bliss of love. I bow my head in humbleness when faced with the face of love Awestruck wonder heartland fertile peaceful flying dove Turning ancient wheelhouse lover faithful to the bitter end Secret meanings sharing back and forth a Well Met Friend I can go all day talking in this present tense Open up the heart of it and find the river runs inside All the people in the world Ancient secrets unfolding as they said it would All around me I can feel toward my special one All the feelings that we heard of from the holy ones

Join me as I tip my hat to Love
Join me as I tip my hat to Love. In genuine humbleness I bow low to my friend, my lover, and my master, Love. Love remains my only constant companion in this ever-changing world. So this is for Love… Love is still the reason we get up everyday. I am learning. Love is old and steady. Love is deep, deeper kind of love. Love is alive. What does that mean? I have heard it in songs that love is alive. But what does it really mean? When Love moves and we get to feel the breeze produced by this movement. This is what we feel, the reaction to love moving. It is very big, and ancient. Living longer than reaches of my imagination. Ancient and big, and turning, always turning, around and around and around and around without sound without anxiety, without threats, without longing, without restlessness. Love turns, around me, swirling me up in the eddies. The ebb and flow, the in and out, the love that is. This is what I see. This force, this existence, it has consequences. It has attributes, like my hands, love has form, and function. Though not easy to see, it is very easy to see. Love has miraculous powers, it has compassion, it cares. Love must have consciousness. I have seen it. It IS alive. Love cares about you and me. Love cares for us, like a mother feeding her young. Love cares for all of us. Love matters. The matter of mystery, Love is the mystery. The mystery is how it knows what we need, when we need, and how much we need. It’s just enough to get us through the door, Just enough to matter. Justice. And sometimes we get to get filled up and over. Bliss. Love bliss. Love ecstasy. Love moves. It has locomotion. It moves…never stuck, always moving, turning. It is so light and fluid, symmetrical chaos, like a mixture of water and air and feathers and clouds, SPIRIT. That spirit flows in the River. The river flows, the river knows, the river cares for you, it brings us together, it cares for us and provides for us. Never fear for love IS here. We dance in the ebb and we dance in the flow. We dance in loves bliss. We dance in the river. We dance in the river bliss. The light spray of misty love lights on my darkening skin. Truth is love and love is truth. The truth? The blissful truth. Love is the blissful truth. The spirit, the spirit that dances is the river bliss. The river bliss IS the truth. Bliss Dancer, spirit dancer. Love. I tip my hat to this blissful dancer. I watch in wonder and great humor as this dancer spins and twirls, eyes closed, smiling lips, very fine like silver chain. I tip my hat to this truth. Really I fall to my face and lay prostrate with humbleness. This is the realness of it all. Love holds me to the floor and I lay still in smiling blissful love.
