Oh, this is my heart
Oh, the heart that I have now
shall remain forever
for yours it shall forever be.
Oh, spring shall come
with all its young leaves of green
Oh, and spring shall by and by
fade to summer
and summer to fall with all its leaves of gold.
Oh, and all through the winter's cold night
with its blanket of snow
that lays cold upon the earth
like a sheet of death
as the cold winds blow.
Oh, but in this heart of mine
no change there shall ever be
for I eternally belong to you
and you forever belong to me.
Oh, how I hold you
like a priceless treasure  living in my soul
a precious jewel in my heart.
Oh, this labor of love
to win you my love
shall always be
for you are the only flower that blooms for me.
Oh, for a man
is more that blood and bones
for his life to be spent
foolish labors
by day and by night
for his flesh to be.
Oh, for I know
that your love is the very nectar of the gods
that quickens my body of clay.
Oh, my soul that lives within me
Oh, how it longs to be one with you
to sing its silent music
of a forever love
till its breath has gone
on the day that time shall no longer be.
