I love you but it hurts me so 
When I see you cry 
I wonder how I can bear this life 
And there's one thing I'd like you to know 
One day I'd like you to be my wife 
  
If I ever break your heart 
You can tear me through the ages 
For I have made the promise my intentions are pure 
And have written love poems on thousands of pages 
A woman of internal beauty has such a lure 
  
I love you but it hurts me 
To think I can't be as great as you are in my eyes 
And you know that I mean it and these are not lies 
That's just how well my sweetness you know me 
  
For the last brief year I have been lucky to know you 
But it's felt so long I wish I could show you 
To the one I love I give you the key to my heart 
For a lifetime I never want to be apart 
  
I love you but it hurts me whenever I leave your side 
To think that pain could come to you 
But from it we can't hide 
There is a light that I get from your soul 
In it I see eternity's love and truth 
With you I could walk the long mile

On.
