If I hold you will it be To hold you up and let you see The flower that your life can be? I hope I am so strong! I know that life is always brief And seldom do we find relief And so I’m proud to be the thief And hold you soft and long.
You came to me without a clue Of how I longed and cried for you You held me close and made me true The flower of your heart. And so it seems we can’t regret What time has placed before us yet I held you long before we met Deep within my heart.
Your joy and pain both now are mine Eternal smile, eyes that shine Are written in a magic rhyme Deep within my heart. If I should die before you wake To kiss me here for your heart’s sake I pray your pain be mine to take And my joy yours to keep.
