Nearer, my love, to you, by d.s.l.

From my eyes I see yours 

Glittering sky twinkle moons and lights

 

There’s no place like your eyes

Where my mind can roam free 

 

A place of sanity and insanity 

A place so lovely for a love so recklessly

 

 You are the sun that shines 

Your smile give life to dust flew by 

 

Yet all shall die and wither away

But you and your love shall live all days

 

I love you more than I could tell

More than words from pen to ink that fell

 

More than flowers and colours and sky

For in you are beauty of all satisfy 

 

All nature can cry in jealous cry

When God made you perfectly bright

 

If sky and earth cannot compare

And only breaks in their despair 

 

Then there’s no place I can decide to hide

When near your chest I can forever reside

 

In heaven they shall wait for you

All angels shall count their days for you

 

To jewel they lost in that July

When obeyed to God they made you mine

 

But I shall not take part 

Away from this most precious art 

 

For in your heart embrace my destiny

One that forever shall set me free
