I desire to hold you,

and rock you in my arms

till you've no more sorrow,

safe from all life's harm.

I want to share your pain,

then kiss it all away,

to give you my sweet love

to warm you every day.

So tenderly I'd kiss you,

and whisper in your ear,

how deeply that I need you,

and always want you near.

That when we leave this life

to meet above the sky,

the gates of Heaven open

to a love that cannot die.
