Oh, if I could only
hold you through all the hours of the night
and love you like a holy fire.
Oh, my angel
your beauty is beyond all I could ever imagine.
you cause all my dreams
to be like a fever
and you trouble me
with thoughts that I could never win your love.
I know.  Oh how I know!
that I was born to love you
and without you I have no life to live.
Oh, you cause such love and longing
within me
that I can no longer reason.
Oh, my love for you
is beyond the power of my control.
you dance before me in my dreams
and your lovely Siren's song
haunts my mind still
and I know it will haunt me forevermore.
oh, you are such an exotic vision
come to me from a far land,
a creature like no man before has ever see.
Oh, you are living poetry. Oh, such poetry!
Oh the power within your body
and the power within your soul,
and the power within your lovely voice
to enchant me so!
Oh, you are more lovely than a million angel's.
You come like some creature
from a far off exotic world.
Oh, my words are like a pale shadow
that cannot describe such unearthly beauty.
Oh, lovely creature!
Oh, creature of my dreams!
I fall on my knees
and lie upon the ground
and beg for your mercy
that you love me.
"Oh, please love me."
For if you will not love me
your beauty will destroy me!
And I will consume away into dust and ashes,
and die in the misery of a thousand tortures.
Oh, how can you ever know
the things that you do to me!
Oh, how I would shed all my life's blood
in return for your undying love.
All my life I would give to you
and all I can ever do
is to beg for your sweet love
"Oh, please love me!
and I will love you
for all of infinite eternity."
