More and more
Language: English
O! could I tell my heart's fond prayer, And how I long for thee; Thou art my very life, and hope, And more than all to me. Should'st thou prove false, and then, o, love, My passion coldly spurn, Still I would love thee more and more, And for thee only yearn. Yes, love, I love thee more and more... O, bid me leave thee never; Believe me this, were all else false, I love thee more than ever. The flow'rs of gold e'en turn their gaze, To catch each sunlit ray, So too, o love, to thee I turn, Forever light my way. And as the years and years roll on, Across time's endless shore. i'll be with thee, and stay with thee, And love thee more and more.
