The Cost of Love


In the mists of your eyes, I find myself lost, 
Oh! To love thee, I have to pay a huge cost, 
To be with you, with my family, break ties, 
I find myself lost in the mists of your eyes, 

To never see them again, is that fair chance? 
Because lifelong I wish to, with you, romance
Does loving you have to be with so much pain? 
Is that fair chance to never see them again? 

Still, I'll follow you to the end of the earth, 
In my eyes, our love is  more than that much worth,
Promise me, my dear, that you'll always stay true, 
To the end of the earth, still, I'll follow you, 

You are my breathtakingly beautiful light, 
My day starts with you and ends with you at night, 
Together, we can touch the brightest, farthest star, 
My breathtakingly beautiful light, you are,

Today, I bid goodbye to my family, 
Let's make our own ever after happily, 
I can face anything as long as you're nigh, 
To my family, today, I bid goodbye.
