Oh to be in love

To be in love
For the last time,
For the best time
Is what I most desire.

To find one love
To love
To be loved
To the end of my life.

Is what I desire.

Someone to hold,
Someone to hold me,
To love,
Not scold me.

Someone to hear my voice,
As I will hear their sweet tones,
Whisper in my ear,
And we are here,
Not there.

I want to find one love,
That one who really cares,
And treasures my caring
For only them.

Will there be one last time,
Ere I leave this earth?
One sweet kiss
To remember me by.

Oh to love and be loved
By you.
