“Look off, dear Love, across the sallow sands,
And mark yon meeting of the sun and sea;
How long they kiss in sight of all the lands,
Ah! longer, longer we.

Now, in the sea’s red vintage melts the sun
As Egypt’s pearl dissolved in rosy wine
And Cleopatra night drinks all. This done,
Love, lay thine hand in mine.”

I’m going to try to speak the words
that my heart wants you to know
I want you to see what you mean to me
and why I love you so.

Nobody else can know my thoughts
and touch my soul like you can
No one can melt my heart like you do
simply by holding my hand.

With a loving glance or a tender kiss
you make my cares disappear
Warm thoughts of you surround me
and always keep you near.

I need nothing more from you than this-
to know that you’ll always be mine
And the promise of your love in my life-
until the end of time.

A round the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friend’s face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.

Your hazel green eyes
Are like woods on a warm spring day
When leaves have just unfolded
And slender branches thick with sap
Bend under the weight of songful birds.
I look into your eyes and see
A timeless world of sun and breezes,
Of shade and dappled love,
As I gaze from my sunlit doorway.

My dear love, I wanted to share
My thoughts, my feelings and
What makes me despair
I want to share with you
What makes me happy; what makes me feel blue..
So you can sense that my love is honest and true.

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine…
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.

If I could hold you close
When the dark abides,
And your eyes behold
At the break of light,
I’d write music by the moon
And songs by the sun,
And their melody and tune
Would ring you’re the one.

I hid my love when young while I
Couldn’t bear the buzzing of a fly
I hid my love to my despite
Till I could not bear to look at light
I dare not gaze upon her face
But left her memory in each place
Where ere I saw a wild flower lie
I kissed and bade my love goodbye.

I love you for that certain smile
that cheers me up when I am blue.
I love you for your tenderness
that warms me through and through.

I love you for your kindness
and understanding heart;
one that always says,
“I love you very much.”
