If I held you within my arm,
would my breathing be sedate or heavy,
seeing that smile upon your face, such open charm,
my heart is full of love and will pay the levy,

Watching your eyes sparkle and gleam,
to feel your lips brush mine,
intoxicating scent evaporates in steam,
your presence erodes all of time,

Close to you is all I desire,
hearing your soft voice whisper silly things,
such pleasure I could never tire,
jointly our hearts synchronise as love sings,

Memories of love abound,
shadows from the past linger,
silently now the doors close without a sound,
and it is only my heart that is left to be the singer.
