If one day, someone asked after me
Say that I live to love thee
Before I knew thee, all I knew to be
Was tired and useless to the world.
My love, hear me in my prayers
I beg that thou return, return to me for love
I know I cannot love alone
Perhaps one day soon, thou canst learn to love anew
My love, hear me in my prayers
I beg that thou return, return to me for love
I know I cannot love alone
Perhaps one day soon, thou canst learn to love anew
And should it be that thine heart wish not this,
To feel not the passion, nor the pain of our love
Without any thought to what may follow after
My heart can learn to love for us both
