I say this to you<br>
You are beautiful<br>
There are no flowers more fair<br>
And none so sorrowful</p>

Walk with me a while<br>
While the sun still shines<br>
Before the day goes dark<br>
Let our hearts be light</p>

For I would not have the world end now<br>
And lose so soon who I have found</p>

The end of days used to be on my mind<br>
But with you my limbs are light<br>
You're a joy not denied</p>

And I know that you wished to be loved by another<br>
Who only gave pity<br>
And no love in return</p>

But I would give all the world if I could now<br>
To always love who I have found</p>

Your beautiful fist used to hold a shield<br>
But let's make a garden and both be healed<br>
So I say this to you<br>
You are beautiful<br>
And I love you<br>
Can you love me?</p>
