Oh, you fulfill my dreams
you are everything I have ever dreamed of
you are so beautiful and loving.
The softness of heart is beyond compare.
There is not a living creature you do not love.
your dark mysterious eyes like windows
that bear the depths of your soul only to me.
Your dark shiny hair like the softest black silk.
And oh, how you put the birds who sing in the early morning
to shame.
Oh, no angel has ever had so sweet a voice.
And oh, how my heart is lost to you!
My heart tells me in all my waking hours,
" Oh, you must have her love or you will wither into nothing!"
And oh, I am ever at your mercy!
Oh, what power you have over me!
There is nothing I would not do
to hold you in my arms, and kiss your sweet lips.
And I pray. Oh, how I pray for your kiss
and the blessing of your love.
Oh, how you have changed my world!
Nothing smells, nor tastes, nor sounds , nor looks the same.
The same sky above, the same ground I walk on,
the same trees, the same street, the same birds that sing
but all is changed. And all is changed beyond recognition.
And everything I see says to me in silent words,
" Without her you are nothing!"
And oh, my struggle for you!
Surpassing all my strength, and all my endurance.
My body, and my soul tell me,
" You are to weak to endure. You are finished!"
But oh, my heart tells me, " you must struggle on!"
Like the struggle not to fall into Satan's eternal pit!
Oh, to lose you. And to lose your love.
Such is a horror beyond my wildest imagination!
I am a mad man! Oh, I have become a mad man!
But oh, I can never regret my loving you.
And oh, how I pray that you love will ever be mine
for I know this love will never end.
