Grew the love that brought me bliss
To the world it opened my heart
But left me blind from the very start
In my eyes, I saw only she
In my mind it was meant to be
I forgot the pains of life
Until reality cut through me like a knife
I let slip the one I love
I gave up on my beautiful Dove
I think of her with each day past
Regretting that which did not last
Oh, if time I could unwind
So once again that love I'd find
I would cherish her with all my heart
And never again our souls would part.
