My Lips your Lips have Kissed

My lips your lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I’ve not forgotten, your arms held me tight
All through the night; hold me till day’s light
to wake up with the beam of your bright blue eyes.

Upon the window a gleam of sunshine streams,

And in my heart there stirs a quiet joy
For I now know that death cannot destroy
the life we built together on pleasant dreams.

Thus in winter still stands a robust tree,
For I know what birds have perched the branches,
And its boughs full of leaves do the dances:
I can say love has come like a great sea,

Never before has someone been in love more,
Then I have been with you forevermore.
