Love

I'll touch the face of beauty with tender hands.
Through the perils of life with one like you.
We'll feel the sighs and tears that life commands.
My heart has found a peace in love so true.
A world within a world that love has found.
As beating hearts become a trembling fawn.
Caressing hopes and dreams of sacred ground.
With precious lips that kiss before the dawn.
The sun did rise as love began to grow.
When strangers met upon a lonely shore,
And crossed the sea of truth with hearts aglow.
With winds that fill their sails forevermore.

We'll cross the space of time with trusting hearts,
And hold the joy of love till' breath departs.
