a thousand times

from Dante's answer by Joan Silentio

/

lyrics

A thousand times I've gazed at you
Regards, the sum of all

No other world, no other sound,
No more besieged by nearing Fall

A thousand ships could not begin
To reckon all you're worth

O'er land and sea, through storm and stress
My fire, my air, my earth

A thousand sighs,
A thousand tears,
A thousand miles,
A thousand years'

From youthful morn to evening wise
This unity of you and I
Into the night but free of fear
Two souls belong inevitably

I'd write these words,
I'd voice these thoughts
I'd hold you close,
Aloft once more
