Oh, my dear love
how you fill my every thought
and my every dream.
Oh, how live my life in you,
and through you.
Oh, if I could hold your hand
and walk through life with you.
And to hold you and keep you
from this cruel and thoughtless world.
Oh, how I would do anything to make you mine.
To win your love, and hold you in my arms till the end of time.
Oh, how can I hold you in my arms, and keep you?
For I ever fear I may lose you.
I pledge my love to you eternally,
and how I hope you would pledge your heart to mine.
Oh, I am forever bound to you
and can do no other but pledge this love to you.
And oh, how this love holds me so tight.
Oh, my love. Oh, my dear love! My phantom of desire!!
Oh, how I love you! Oh, how I love you as a mad man loves!!
I love you beyond all sense and reason!
Oh, the thoughts of you that haunt my fevered brain!
Oh, how my future depends on you.
And the love in my heart rises like a song
in answer to silent song of your beauty
Oh, haunting, that haunting siren's song!
Oh, come and let us love
soul to soul, and flesh to flesh
and let out passion rise among the stars.
And let us love with a passion and so great
from which new life my spring.
And oh, so deep my longing and fevered prayer
that the day may dawn
that wife to me you shall ever be!
Oh, I am yours heart and soul
and how I fear the things that may tear us apart.
Oh, a million things may lie in wait
seeking to ever tear us apart.
The things I struggle to overcome, and seek to make you proud.
Oh, if God so will, the goal is set before my eyes.
To love you and hold you forever and ever
till there is no more setting sun.
