a wedding song

_
i love you more than madness dear
i love you more than light
i love you more than riches
i love you more than might
-
i love you more than air i love you more than breath
oh i love you more than mercy more than mercy more than rain
-
you quenched a thirst
it scorched me to the soul
gave me silks and satins paid my weight in gold
-
my thoughts of you they never rest they'll kill me when i lie
my trust is steadfast it's a rock
my faith in you can never die

-
oh darling do you see
i was born to be at your side
i was born to be with you i was born to be your bride
-
you're the other half of what i am i'm the other piece
and i love you more than ever my love will never cease
-
forever darling my soul to yours will cling
my charms will win your heart my faith will buy your ring

-
i love you more than fountains more than life
eye for eye tooth for tooth your truth cuts like a knife
-
you drowned my sorrows drowned my fears
drowned my pain in my father's tears
-
you freed my soul forsaken a prisoner of the mud
happiness to me is you i love you more than blood
- -
oh i love you more than dreams and rainbows on the sea
i love you more than hope itself you are the life that flows in me

Though lovers be lost love shall not ;
And death shall have no dominion.
