Let Me Count The Ways

~In that I love you more each day

let me try to count the ways~

~One hundred hearts would be too few

in that I love you more I do~

~You are my wake at night I stay

in of my thought throughout the day~

~You are my sun my moon my stars

the every beating of my heart~

~You are the wind the rain the Heavens send

to that my love can be no end~

~In that you are the fruited plains

the very blood run through my veins~

~You are the mountains Oh so high

the reigning beauty no deny~

~The air I breath that gives me life

the reason be in that I strive~

~Like that the rose the month of May

you are the scent the flowers spray~

~You are the soft a baby’s skin

you are the new in life begin~

~Like that the gleam in what is hope

you are of that my epitope~

~Your soul runs deep like that the sea

in all you are you are to me~

~You give me reason to be gambol

in that you are my living throttle~

~You are my yester now and morrow be

you are in all eternity~

~I love you but with all my breath

and will unto that after death~
