How Strong Your Love can Be

Lay with me by the brook
And listen to the music on the breeze,
Let's lose ourselves in the romance
Of the songbird's melody,
And I will wonder how strong your love can be.

I'll write my prose in a letter to you
On a single page of leaf,
I'll hand it to you personally
And watch closely as you read,
And I will wonder how strong your love can be.

In my thoughts I see you smiling,
A happy smile for me,
And I see the deepest love in your eyes
As I watch you tenderly,
And still I wonder how strong your love can be.

Don't let the bustling hedgerow
Alarm your serenity,
It's only nature serenading
Your heartbeat as you breathe,
And I'm wondering how strong your love can be.

The sweet smelling meadow arouses
New emotions within me,
An urge to reach out and touch you
And a strong feeling of affinity,
And still I wonder how strong your love can be.

I touch your face with my fingertips
To stroke your cheek so gently,
And the soft, warm sigh that escapes you
In turn, caresses me,
And I'm wondering how strong your love can be.

It seems you have similar feelings,
For you turn around now to face me,
Our lips meet in a kiss of passion
Within the thunder of your heartbeat,
And I'm amazed at how strong your love can be.
