Oh, let me be the one
to live as a treasure within your heart.
Oh, do you count me
as only one of a vast crowd
as vast as a cloud of locust
that covers the land
all interchangeable
each one for one
and of such little worth
as the dust blowing in the wind.
Oh, is my heart to you
such a prize
that all the fibers of your soul
you would give
just to hear me say
that you mean heaven and earth to me
and my heart and all that I am
shall forever belong to you.
Oh, the pain I would bear
and the blood within my body
I would drain
till my face and my form
would become like veil of white satin
and my flesh as cold
as a snow covered hill.
Oh, just to hold you
in these two loving arms
that ache so in all their longing for you.
Oh my love I have but one prayer to you.
Oh, let us live
for the love of one  another
till all the stars
that are spread through the inky black of space
all burn away
one by one
and time unwinds on its endless way
till all the world is no more.
Oh, and let us ever love each other still.
