Could you but know the beating of my heart.
Could you feel what I do in every part
Of my body that aches for you.
I lie awake for you.
I think, talk, dream-walk for you.
With sounds of your voice,
Choices like paradise, heaven, open.
You have won my soul for a whole world
Taking on new meaning,
With each beating of my heart.
