Come into my arms,
and you know that love has made you strong,
then arms that wrap me around,
cover you from the world's unfriendly winter;
or hail or snow
come into my arms,
and realise that you are far
away from the world,
hear my heartbeat
and that is all you need
when you look into my eyes,
you no longer have to cry
but smile like infinity,
then you will know that love
has made you strong
the wrinkles of sorrow shall vanish
from your face,
then you'll know that love has
made you ever young
When you plunge into the deathbed
of the bermuda triangle,
my hands shall stretch forth in extreme
energy to reach for you,
then you'll know that love has made me strong,
and that I move with the muscles of the heart
By the power of your presence,
I shall weep no more,
sadness has my heart swept away,
ever since it found you
for you, I shall be as Benjamin Button,
transform from maturity to juvenity,
be as humble as a child,
longing for your milk,
I shall listen to the novels of your life
like a bedtime,
not fathoming the ambiguity of astrology,
not reasoning with equations,
they all wither before me,
your name is all I hear,
not fathoming anything else
your name shall be the only thing I know
And when the night looms
with a fiendish darkness and unfriendly
cold, I shall cuddle you with the stars,
because hope reigns
in the songs of our hearts
Take my lips to Eden,
with your divine
by a passion that encircles
us in the days of our hearts.
