Why can't I be with you;
My darling dearest;
Why can't we live amongst the trees;
In the thriving forest
Why may I not hold you in my arms;
And whisper in your ear;
Why may we not live in peace;
For all future years
Why do our parents scorn;
The happiness that we show;
Why do they not understand;
That being with you makes me glow
How can we live so far apart;
Not seeing each other at all;
How can we live this way for long;
Without your love, I shall surely meet my downfall
While the elves sing of joy and love;
The hobbits dance with glee;
As the men are out a huntin';
I sing of you and me
