O my hero
my beloved
shall we still be made to part
Though promises of
perennial love
yet sing here in my heart
I'm the darkness
You're the starlight
shining brightly from afar
Through hours of despair
I offer this prayer
to you
my evening star
Must my final
vows exchanged
be with him
and not with you
Were you only here
to quiet my fear
O speak
guide me anew
I am thankful
my beloved
for your tenderness and grace
I see in your eyes
so gentle and wise
all doubts
and fears erased
Though the hours
take no notice
of what fate might have in store
Our love come what may
will ne'er age a day
I'll wait forevermore
