Chris van der Westhuizen

Met jou in my lewe -
die soetste gegewe.
Soos sterre wat fonkel
in 'n wolklose nag.
Al droom ek van storms
wat dreun in die koue,
hou ons mekaar warm
deur die donkerste nag.

Met jou in my lewe -
die soetste gegewe.
Soos blomme wat blom
op 'n kleurvolle dag.
Deurdrenk met jou liefde
in silwer sproeireën,
is jy so verseker
my soetste glimlag.

Sweetest You

With you in my life -
the sweetest gift.
Like stars that sparkle
in a cloudless night.
Though I dream of storms
that rumble in the cold,
we keep each other warm
through the darkest night.

With you in my life -
the sweetest gift.
Like flowers blooming
on a colorful day.
Soaked through with your love
in silver sprinkling rain,
you are so certain -
my sweetest smile.
