i want to die while you love mehollydoodle19March 15 2011, 00:27:53 UTC
I want to die while you love me, While yet you hold me fair, While Laughter lies upon my lips And lights are in my hair. I want to die while you love me And bear to that still bed Your kisses turbulent, unspent To warm me when I’m dead.
I want to die while you love me; Oh, who would care to live Till love has nothing more to ask And nothing more to give?
I want to die while you love me, And never, never see The glory of this perfect day Grow dim, or cease to be!

While yet you hold me fair,
While Laughter lies upon my lips
And lights are in my hair.
I want to die while you love me
And bear to that still bed
Your kisses turbulent, unspent
To warm me when I’m dead.
I want to die while you love me;
Oh, who would care to live
Till love has nothing more to ask
And nothing more to give?
I want to die while you love me,
And never, never see
The glory of this perfect day
Grow dim, or cease to be!
