Love By A Rose

What a sweet guy!

"I shall love you today and tomorrow, my love

And in all the tomorrows there are.

I shall love you as long as there lingers a song,

And the sky has a single star.

In the spring when the wind is a gentle breeze

And the rain and the roses are here;

In the summery days when the friendly rays

Of the golden sun appear;

In the lonely lap of the autumn months

Where the beautiful leaves must fall,

And again in the night when the fields are white

In the folds of their wintry shawl.

I shall love you while ever a mountain stands

And the waves of the ocean pass,

And until the sands of the farthest lands

Have run through the hour-glass.

I shall love you as much as my heart can love

Wherever, my love, you are.

I shall love you as long as there lingers a song,

And the sky has a single star."
