Forsake Me Not


Tell the rose to stop its blooming, and the stars to halt their shine,
ask the sea to cease its rolling, lest the tide profess you're mine.
Call the wind to brew a tempest; darken skies to match my fate,
for without you here beside me, hurt and anguish won't abate.

Stop the sun from ever blazing; make the moon refuse to rise.
I can't bear that I am losing what I once saw in your eyes.
There's a season for each journey, and without you, mine is done.
How my nights will ever linger if I've lost the only one

who did promise that he loved me; gave his heart to set me free.
Summon power from the heavens; beg the angels come for me
if you tell me that it's over, say my love is just in vain.
Let the vine begin to wither, and the colours start to wane

from a rainbow and a meadow. Kill the deer, and slay the fox.
Stop the nightingale's sweet singing, halt the world; arrest the clocks.
Oh, the brook will cease its babble, all the planets not align
if forever you forsake me, my beloved Valentine!

No, our story can't be over, for I need you more than air!
Speak the words of your devotion, save my soul from this despair.
Tell the lily of the valley that its scent will taint your lie!
Please don't say that you don't love me, for without you, I shall die.
