True love may come but once



As I write my words in verse
I lay my heart out on the
line in the hope I'll win
your heart with my romantic
words of rhyme Love will
take us on a journey
far across the bright
blue sea as waves of
passion and desire gently
wash right over me as we
run through fields of green
we will scale love's highest
peak and as we watch the
world below through our lips
our hearts will speak at day's
end our love take wing as
the moon comes into sight
and as our two hearts join as
one we'll steal away into
the night.
