Analysis of I Love You Now
I love your dance. What will it be
to carouse at your jamboree?
I love your song. What will it be
to vibrate with your melody?
I love your kiss. What will it be
to lock your lips with master key.
I love your weave. What will it be
to interlace your tapestry?
I love your fruit. What will it be
to harvest from your apple tree?
I love your guise. What will it be
to focus on your majesty?
I love your touch. What will it be
to hold your hand at ninety-three?
I love your dream. What will it be
to realize your fantasy?
I love your flight. What will it be
to see you when your spirit's free?
I love you now. What will it be
to love you for eternity?
