Ah love! You irascible delight! Stop now, I beg you, you've kept me up all night It is now soon light, and I would like to sleep Why torment me so, what gain do you see You have charmed me silly, and I'm utterly willing to jump when you say, or while the day away like I have the night, in your delirious sway
I see you dance, as you often do, and wish I could too I would hold you close, and we would waltz to the blues And were you to smile, my heart would be lost What I'd give, toΒ Β melt into your eyes, it would be no loss
I stand a ways from you, and can not come closer But I am tethered by a thread, that tugs my old heart just like your laugh, affects my composure drowning in the magic, as your enchantment starts
If time were to stop, and distance of little import I'd whisk you away, to a place without towers or roads we'd bask in the glow of each other's affection while we sipped on wine, and danced away our woes
