Always
Take my hand it’s OK, I promise I won’t go away, I promise I won’t leave your side, I will be here until the end of time.
I will be here when you are old and grey and you olive skin starts to decay, I will be here when your ebony hair turns white and is beyond repair
Take my heart it’s OK, I promise I won’t go away, I promise I won’t leave your side, I love you forever, you are mine.
I will love you when your flickering sapphire lights turn black and vacant as the night, I will love you when your lilting voice, can sing no longer or rejoice
Take my soul it’s OK, I promise I won’t go away. I promise I won’t leave your side, you have me forever, for the longest of times.
I will admire you when you are thin like death, when your dewy skin’s no longer and can only rest, I will admire you when smile is gone, when it’s hanging and broken beyond repair, for you my lover, I will always be there.
