As long as I live
I will keep you ever
In the foremost sight of my heart
To hold your image for countless moments
A picture of you always in my mind.
As long as I live
You will be the summer of my life
The autumn of my thoughts
Warming the cockles of my heart
Adding crimson glory to my days.
As long as I live
I will look beyond what the eyes can see
Listen to the words that cannot be heard
Speak the words as said by the heart
Stretch my hands across the medium of hope.
As long as I live
I will handle with supreme care
The inexpressible part of love
That can only be deeply felt and possessed
In the secure gallery of the soul.
As long as I live
I will run my fingers with tender feel
Through the silken pages in the great book
The written words that swept through my soul
The blush that it evoked, smiles and tears alike.
As long as I live
I will bow to the will of destiny
Whether a sweet pill or a bitter one
Take each eventful moment in my stride
Though my heart will never forget the seasonal remembrance.
As long as I live
I will draw every breath in your name
I will walk on the path which leads to you
I will love you with every tick of time
A love to be carried forward in the life to come.
