I'll Never Break Your Heart 'With kind apology to Robert Burns'

Scarce thought held I for angel's hearts, though oft touched by their wings.
Sure the mind stays fixed from mortal parts, while to you an angel sings.
Then light pours down from heaven above, through virgin forest crown.
And long last seen through haloed love, the weary heart lays down.
And long last seen through haloed love, the weary heart lays down.

Chorus:

		I'll never break your heart.
		I'll hold it as the fragile rose, whose petals ne'er shall part.
		I'll never break my vow.
		I'll hold fast 'gainst the ebb and flow, as strong then e'en as now.
		I never will break down.
		While crimson'd cataract course these veins, I'll stand upon my ground.
		While crimson'd cataract course these veins, I'll stand upon my ground.

Red lips told me, "'Twill break my heart, if ever you take your leave.
Should worldly 'fairs tear us apart, fair Heaven forever would grieve."
Then place your trust alone in God, ne'er mindful of the rest.
While angels tread that hallowed sod, to you my love is blest.
While angels tread that hallowed sod, to you my love is blest.

CHORUS

And I never will break your heart.
