I Never Cared So Deeply



I never loved so dearly
I never knew such zeal
I never loved so dearly
You have great appeal

I never smiled so fully
I never found such joy
I never smiled so fully
You have cheery buoy

I never craved so hotly
I never drew such cure
I never craved so hotly
You have striking lure

I never saw so clearly
I never had such light
I never saw so clearly
You have fine insight

I never cared so truly
I never took such note
I never cared so truly
You have won my vote

I never loved so deeply
I never gave such chase
I never loved so deeply
You have superb grace
