Lover mine

Lover mine, when we were born
I thought we’d never die

We: forever be entwined
together: take the world in stride
forever: together we would lie

Yet now, fast forward,
through the tears my heart can’t hide
reaching for you, you just slip on by

Through the hardship, through the sorrow and the pain

A longing, never answered,
Oh lover mine, a love that was
but never came

Still, I’d hold you, in my arms
and if you’d let me,
if you’d let me…

Sweet Lover mine, when we were born
I thought we’d never die
