Times are rough
The world is gray
Life is lost
In darkened days

We have hope
Though it’s always hard
Our hearts beat close
Both mother and child

We have no money
The bread is tough
Still we survive
When times are rough
The warm touch of an angel’s fingertip
The soft sensation when her long hair sways
Across my skin and glides over my lips
Embraced in tender arms time slips away

When my eyes meet her eyes I stop and stare
Two tiny worlds more wonderful than ours
The sun reflects off her skin when it’s bare
Glows with beauty more infinite than stars

The scent that follows when she passes by
A heavenly aroma, sweet and light
It steals my heart just like her gentle sigh
A lovely voice that sings to me at night

The moment my eyes shut I dream of you
My angel, calling from the darkened blue
I never knew what beauty life could grace
Me with when all I had was troubled thoughts
But now as my eyes rest upon your face
My suffering and haunting dreams are lost

Instead my mind is filled with rays of light
Of overflowing streams, the clearest blue
And flowers grow from here to out of sight
My darling, don’t you know it’s all ‘cause you?

Because your smile caught me from the start
Because your eyes plant love into my soul
Because your voice breathes hope into my heart
Because your touch can melt away the cold

I never want to leave your faithful side
I’ll lie with you until the end of time

— The End —
