My Heart, My Love, My Wife



My dearest love, my heart, my soul,
I hold you in my arms;
My love for you grows day by day
I fall sway to your charms.

Fourteen years and one-half more
Have flown upon the wind;
I long to know as time flies by
You'll be mine in the end.

My heart could not continue on
Without you in my life;
You hold the keys to my soul,
My heart, my love, my wife.
