for you, my love

i carry your heart with me, i carry it in my heart
i am never without it; anywhere i go you go, my dear
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling

i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows:
here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart:

i carry your heart... i carry it in my heart
