The truth is that I love you
with grace it brings to mind
and when I've lived without you
there was nothing left but time
to wonder, if I'd ever
enjoy your warmth again
or pine away forever
like some long lost friend

Let me be your lover
when all else fades away
let me hold you tight right now
until we're old and grey
never lose a minute
of time I spend with you
your presence is as air to me
your love my only food
that feeds my very spirit
and gave me back my life
and if these words convince you
please come and be my wife.
