Absolutely

In the joys of spring our new love
Lit a light inside of me
In the happiest adventures
We laughed we loved we were free

Across the miles I would travel
To feel your warmth next to me
And I fell so deep in love with you
Absolutely

With our life set out before us
There came a tragedy
We grappled with the waves of change
And the force of destiny

I looked to you to your green eyes
And your heart smiled softly to me
Wait my love, our time will come
Absolutely

As the summers passed to autumns
All the years across the seas
With the winds so long against us
Still our dream held steady to see

You ask how long will I wait for you
And your voice speaks so tenderly
I will wait for you my love, my life
Absolutely

Then at last the celebration
All our dreams had come to be
As one in love together
At home at last we were free

You ask how long will I love you
And my heart speaks softly to me
I will spend my life in love with you
Absolutely

In the stillness of the evening
Again you sleep far from me
In the balance hangs our hopes and dreams
As I pray for you faithfully

I long so much for your soft caress
For the way your eyes smile at me
And I wait for you my love my life
Absolutely

Then at last with stars aligning
Hand in hand we are free
Behind us long the journey that
We walked so patiently

You ask how long will I love you
And my heart sings softly to me
I will spend my life in love with you
Absolutely
