As God as my witness
lest should I boast,
I have felt a love better than most.
A fire’s fervent blaze or gentle
wave of the sea.
A fervor as tempting
as heaven would be.
Love’s longing does render
no mercy bestowed,
but an unfathomable splendor
my heart may explode.
And change I would not,
though my love is now far,
you’ll always remain
close to my heart.
And as God as my witness,
lest I should pray,
I’ll love again like that someday.
