Oh, my soul sings
a song that has lived in my heart
since my heart first began to beat
a song for the ages.
Oh, the life that lives within me
I no longer live for myself
but it is my love for you
that lives within me.
Oh, how you fill my memories
and my heart to its bursting
till my mortal frame
can no longer hold all that I feel.
Oh, and I know
that I shall never be the same again
for my old heart
and my old soul
has died long ago
when I first felt the magic
of your loving touch.
For you have penetrated my soul
down to the very fabric
of all that I am.
Oh, this river of scarlet
that flows within
knows that I no longer belong
to this dull and loveless
day to day world.
Oh, I have transcended
to another mystic and sacred life
where no shadows remain
and the silent music of love
forever plays within my chest.
Oh, this no longer seeks its self to please
but only you to protect and keep.
Oh, let me forever hold you
to my poor beating heart
and in my arms love you
for all eternity to come
as the moon passes through the night
along its starry way
through endless cycles
till time has burned itself to ashes
like an ancient movie
that has forever played in endless cycles of time
till all its images have worn away
and not even imagination remains
and nothing is left
but a blank page
and only eternity remains
