Oh, when I think
of the times I have suffered.
Of all the pain
and of all the heartache
just to make you mine.
Of all the battles I have fought
just it win your love
oh, it seems all is lost!
But when I look upon your face
and the lovely creature
that you are
then my heart seems to burst within me
and my longing for you
is ever renewed.
Oh, I can never forget you my love
for all my being
and the reason that I am
is tied to you.
Though the battle rages against me
hot and fierce
one moment upon this earth
I dare not rest.
This flame, this passion!
Oh, how it burns within.
it is a fire shut up within me.
Oh, my death is the lose of you!
And I am a butterfly
caught within your net.
And how you torture me
rip the wings from my body!
Oh, am crucified upon a cross
of my love and grief for you.
Oh, you are the reason
that I weep.
And you are the reason
that I struggle so long
that I fight the hard fight
and endure countless pains
just to hold you
in my arms!
Oh, you are the reason
God made everything that was.
Oh, I can hear
the music of eternity
sung by the endless stars.
Oh, they sing of you!
Oh, the heavens
they shall pass away
but my love for you
shall ever remain.
