In the travels of my life
I've seen the darkest days
I've walked a bitter path of pain
And lived in harmful ways

I've seen the devil in myself
And heard the angels sing
And through those lessons surely learned
What salvation has to bring

So after I had died inside
I begged my God above
Grant me this my only wish
Reveal my one true love

But as the days turned into nights
And slowly my heart healed
I lost the hope for fabled love
Deciding my fate was sealed

I'd live a life with work my wife
And children not for me
And slowly I accepted this
For how it was to be

But the alas, what is this now
A change in fate occurred
Just as I did forsake love
My God had kept His word

I found my match in every way
A soul to match my own
And after having loved you, dear
I can hardly be alone

For in our love I found my worth
And freely gave my heart
For even though twas just a month
I loved you from the start

Just to keep what we have shared
Ten million miles I'd crawl
For being blessed to love you, dear
Is the greatest gift of all
