Oh, you ever haunt my dreams
I pursue your lovely form
all through the dark
and sacred hours of the night
Oh, how I am intoxicated
by the imprint of your limbs
Oh, I go walking in my dreams
a holy sanctuary
and when I awake
my mind is filled
with an intoxicating haze
that lives in my mind
the whole day through
Oh, lovely intoxicating ghost
phantom of my deepest longing
Oh, if I have not the meaning of life
in you and the sweet imprint of your limbs
than it escapes me like dust through my fingers
Oh, I have become a child
Oh, how I love you like a child
my poor heart believes you always
grasps at your heart
Oh, how my life would slip away
if I ever lost the love that lives in your heart
and oh, how I live to be loved
Oh, by you my eternal phantom
of everlasting desire.
You fill my universe
and my passion draws me
to your side.
Oh, you are a sacred
and silent song in my heart.
Oh, my world and very soul
lives to the music of your beating heart.
Oh, let me live out all the days of eternity
in your heart.
Oh, I cannot stand
thoughts of life without you
as though I were engulfed
in the heart of a fierce flame.
Oh, agony beyond measure.
Oh, if you forget me
my sweet lovely and sacred love
let the earth, and the stars pass away
and only eternal blackness in its place
ever remain
and let every thought and memory
I hold of myself no longer remain
and the beats of my heart
and the words that jingle in my mind
be torn from its grasp and be forever no more
and pass away as a night mist
a phantom no more.
Oh, this existence and these feelings
how do I bear them without you
for you are the universe and very existence to me.
Oh, how my heart dwells on you the day long.
Oh, how your every song and word
is a sacred scripture to me.
Oh, how I live to hold you in my arms
the only purpose and end to this life.
Oh, how you are a lovely angel beyond
my deepest imagination.
Oh, how do I reach the words
that lie at the bottom
of the endless depths of my heart
that would tell you
of my endless love for you.
Oh, worlds without number
and the endless starry sky
and my poor beating heart and soul
I would forsake
just to be by your side.
Oh, one hour in your arms
would be but eternity.
Oh, how time would stop its swift flight
and of bliss I would know no end.
Oh, I float upon a lake of tears.
Oh, tears of sorrow at your loss
and tears of gladness and love
just to know that I live in your heart
though the place be ever so small
I know my feet have touched
heaven's bright and sacred shore
and joy I have
without ending and evermore.
