It was a revelation to my mind
Your being close to me, your being there
You proved to be both beautiful and kind
So full of joy, of goodness, and of care
What human eye as beauty can behold
I see in you. That night was truly grand
I found myself bewitched, I took your hand
Was bound by face of honey, hair of gold
I did not want to part from you that night
I had to leave, and could not stay with you
I feel I’m in the dark, and you’re the light
I’m longing for, and will you let me, too?
These words are humble, but from truest mind:
When I left you, I left my heart behind.
