i bare my soul to you, my love,
my love, my love, sweet love;
i give to you sweet words hereof
my love, my love, sweet love.
i’ve loved you, all my heart this while,
promise i will hereafter —
i loathe to lie without you still,
i flourish in your laughter.
i couldn’t bear to hear a sigh
heavy and leaden with burden and cry
from you, my love
my love, sweet love;
i will your pain to pass you by.
even till we’re old and grey,
i ask of you — stay day by day,
to hold my hand and lift me high!
all while soothing sweet and sky.
do these soft words ring true for you?
my chest aches and heart swells blue,
i dip with tizz, my love accrues,
my fingers tend always to you.
i bare my soul to you, my love,
my love, my love, sweet love;
with me watch dusk fall on the doves,
my love, my love, sweet love.

my love, my love, sweet love.

i couldn’t bear to hear a sigh

do these soft words ring true for you?
my chest aches and heart swells blue,

i bare my soul to you, my love,
my love, my love, sweet love;
with me watch dusk fall on the doves,
my love, my love, sweet love.
