A Rose By Any Other Name
All the names are just the same
If you are sweet like a rose
I confess, I’m not impressed
Oh, how little that bard knows
For the name of your loved one
Can make you completely melt
When it’s breathed in your heart
Its vibrations are deeply felt
The name of your loved one
Is a promise in one word…
That his love is eternal
His unfaithfulness, unheard
The name of your loved one
Is with passion intertwined
Your lips caress each letter
Your heart echoes it in rhyme
The name of your loved one
Is salvation’s greatest treat
Though you pass through gates of hell
It’ll take you to heaven sweet
The name of your loved one
Is simply beyond compare
No other name can match it
No other would even dare
And so it is, beloved
When we’re making love sublime
Your name bursts out from my lips
Making your sweet name… divine
