The Colour of Our Love
For our wedding day one of Liane's closest friends wrote a song for us. Miriam Donohue is a Dublin-based Galwegian with a stunning voice, a huge heart and one of the most honest & friendly personalities you'll find. Her and Liane were like crutches to one another - always ready to support and never found wanting. Their friendship was a constant, tested by time and distance, but flourishing still.
Miriam re-wrote the song for Liane's burial and stood at the grave in the sunshine that day singing through tears, her heart open for all of us to see. It remains one of the most precious memories, both from hearing the song whilst holding Liane's hand on our wedding day and from that beautifully sad day in Wexford. The lyrics are below. Thank you Miram x

Orange is the colour of our love, like a wheel thats turning
Like a moon so bright its burning, on a midnight bicycle ride
Yellow was the colour of your hair, like a bloom in springtime
Now you stole my heart its ring time,
its the colour of our love
On a blue and crispy morning we climbed Killiney hill
I said will ya will ya Darlin, you said yes i will
And I gave you a blue promise ring, you said I understand
As I slipped it on your finger, we held each others hands
Silver is the colour of your hair, many years from now dear
But I don't mind at all dear, for its the colour of our love
Gold is the colour of love, as here we’re standing
See our friends and family smiling
at the colour of our love.
On a Blue sunny morning, a warm day in July
I said will ya Darlin, if you will so will I
We'll watch the people dancing, watch the colours spin
We’ll stay here for ever and watch the colours fly
The colour of our love
On a Blue and windy morningthe 20th of May
We’re all standing here together to scatter you away
And I thought that all the colours, they might fade away
But now I see you as a Rainbow and a Rainbow you will stay
Oh The Colours of our Love.
