Verse:

Am I a rose in your hand to be crushed?
Is mine a voice to be heard and then hushed?
You made a beggar a queen for a day,
But even a beggar may tenderly say:

Chorus:

Love me forever,
And hold me forever;
And tell me you never
Will leave me alone.
Keep me beside you
To comfort and guide you;
Though trouble betide you,
I'll still be your own.
Don't let me crumble like the desert sands,
Slide away through your hands.
Kiss me, caress me,
Adore me, and bless me;
Forever possess me,
My love.
