You, it stays new
Since the moment when
my eyes first saw you
True, I'll stay true
To the ardent flame
That burns bright for you

You, to me, will be
My cure to sorrow
To be with you
I'd steal, beg, and borrow

I'm dense and sometimes greedy
I hope you'll always need me
Tomorrow and always

Rhymes in their prime
Can't do justice
In descriptions of you
Time, it takes time
To evolve the verse
That typifies you

You, to me, will be
My cure to sorrow
To be with you
I'd still beg and borrow

Eight years seem like the first day
My heart to you I gave away
I love you for always
