Though fate has thrown distance between us,
In your shadow I still remain,
Your heart and mine now beat as one,
I breathe your air, I sense your pain
...
I want to hold the hand of Love,
I want to kiss Love's cheek,
I want to look into Love's eyes,
I want to hear Love speak
...
How nice of you to visit my world,
I wondered who was at the door,
Yes, I'm alone..... don't be concerned,
I've been this way oftentimes before
...
How little I care for rubies and pearls,
Or the sparkle of a diamond ring,
But when a man speaks tender words of love,
These are the jewels that make my heart sing!
...
It didn't seem quite so urgent then
To lay my Song of Love at his feet,
The buds of Spring were yet to open,
And the song of the robin was sweet
...
When a man says his heart is mine,
It means a seed of love has been sown,
For the harvest to be fruitful,
His heart has to be mine alone
...
Our love is quite different,
Not what you might expect,
It's based on understanding
And mutual respect
...
In a corner of my heart there dwells a pain
That thoughts of you awaken each day;
Purposely, I provoke it, then sigh in vain,
Knowing there will be a price to pay
...
My bag is packed and I'm ready to go,
And as I look around one last time,
I can't find one damn thing that I'll miss,
Of happiness, this was no paradigm
...
The defeated heart's hopes have long been hurled,
Knowing how vain the search for love can be;
Yet, it finds its peace in a phantom world
Of shadows mimicking love's ecstasy
...
