I shall love thee evermore,
beyond this life, I do vow.
Mortality, I can't ignore,
with Autumn's years, set upon my brow.

Beyond this life, I do vow,
our souls entwined, shall endure.
With Autumn's years set upon my brow,
of this bond, I can ensure.

Our souls entwined, shall endure
life, fleeting, as a matchstick flame.
Of this bond, I can ensure,
my lips shall whisper thy sweet name.

Life, fleeting, as a matchstick flame,
as my grains of time, slip through the glass.
My lips shall whisper thy sweet name,
when comes the last beat of my heart, at last.

As my grains of time, slip through the glass,
mortality, I can't ignore.
When comes the last beat of my heart at last,
I shall love thee evermore
