Without you my heart aches and is empty,
For you I would lay down my life,
Without you my life has no meaning,
Oh how I wish you were my wife.

I promised to love once and once only,
My promise freely given, my Vow
But over the years Love has faded,
And friends only are what we are now.

There is, in certain living souls,
A quality of loneliness, so great
It must be shared,
As company is shared by lesser beings,
