You dance over me,
While I am unaware.
You sing all around,
But I never hear the sound.

With miracles in mind
My hope will always stand
For you hold me in your hand

Lord I’m amazed by you ( Read more... )

Doth crave a drink divine;
But might I of Jove's nectar sup,
I would not change for thine.

O my luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O mu luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly play'd in tune.
