Oh, if I could write a song
and sing with the voice of an angel
I would sing of you
for all your beauty
and all your love
stirs such music within my soul
Oh that  choirs of angels could never sing
and though all of heaven
were gathered in together to sing of you
my dear love, you who is the life of my soul
all their music
and all the multitudes of angelic voices
would be but a rude sound
compared to the music you stir within my soul.
Oh, my love of you
has outgrown the bounds
of this heart of mine
and it burst asunder with my love for you.
Oh, how I am gripped with such pains
of ecstasy as no tongue can ever tell.
Oh, you are a fire that burns within me
and oh how I am consumed with all my passion for you.
As though the passion
of all the lovers in all the world
were locked within me
and in all my thoughts of you
my heart is filed with such delight
like a heaven burning bright.
Oh, such delicious pain my soul has never known.
All the years of all my life
and all the memories of all the things
I have ever known
and all the wisdom
and all the lore
that all the fibers of my brain
could ever contain
could never prepare me
for all the passion and love
that burns within
this man's mortal chest
and all the delicious pain
that my love of you
has grown within.
And I shall live my life in love with you forever and evermore.
And like a ghost I shall follow you
wherever you shall go
though beyond ends of the earth
it shall forever lead.
And like a ghost I shall ever be haunted
with my memories of you
from times forever past
to times forever to come
for as long as forever shall last.
