Measure my love in starlight And set the sky ablaze Measure my love in words And eternal speak my beloved’s praise
Measure my love in raindrops And overflow the seas Measure my love in sighing And make storms from a summer breeze
Measure my love in music And hear all the world’s choirs sing Measure my love in riches And make every pauper a king
Measure my love in heartbeats And deafen every ear Measure my love in laughter And banish every tear
Seek to measure my love as some might wish By consulting the learned or wise But each effort will fail, because such a scale No mortal thought can devise
