A Red Rose
O my luve’s like a red, red rose.
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my luve’s like a melody
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will love thee still, my Dear,
Till a’the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my Dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:
I will luve thee still, my Dear,
While the sands o’life shall run.
And fare thee weel my only Luve!
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile!
A Red Rose
Forever Love
I never asked For a blessing like you.
Like I’ve spoken to God And my wishes came true.
I asked for a person To love and to hold.
To be loyal and faithful Not angry and cold.
God placed you on Earth As I quested to find,
The one who would be there So sweet and so kind.
In my wildest dreams, I would have denied.
That something so perfect Could at all be supplied.
You have such a sweet face But you are so much more.
You’re my friend and I love you. Your flaws I ignore.
With this small, simple statement I give you and pray,
That you’ll love me forever, And forever you’ll stay.
