Love Me

Love me tender, love me strong. 
Love me with wine and song
On a hillside all the day long. 
Love me with a joke or two
With stories of people you knew. 
Love me until night releases you. 
Confide in me all that you fear. 
Whisper words as you draw near
Words you know I long to hear. 
Death, that sting, be accursed!
Love me for what life is worth
And know that I loved you first.
